Hi All,

I want to zip a single file and save it in that folder only...But the container folder of that file is also getting zipped..Example: trying to zip a file with path D:\fol1\fol2\file.xlsx gives a zipped folder containing fol1\fol2\file.xlsx...But the size is getting compressed..here is my code...

VB

Imports Ionic.Zip
Using zip As Ionic.Zip.ZipFile = New Ionic.Zip.ZipFile
zip.AddFile("D:\SA\Updates\results\UPDATED_DUMP.xlsx")
zip.Save("D:\SA\Updates\results\UPDATED_DUMP.zip")
End Using

Am I doing anything wrong??

Thanks for help...
