hi DotNetZip supports these scenarios: - a Silverlight app that dynamically creates zip files. - an ASP.NET app that dynamically creates ZIP files and allows a browser to download them - a Windows Service that periodically zips up a directory for backup andarchival purposes - a WPF program that modifies existing archives - renaming entries removing entries from an archive or adding new entries to an archive - a Windows Forms app that creates AES-encrypted zip archives for privacy of archived content. - a SSIS script that unzips or zips - An administrative script in PowerShell or VBScript that performs backup and archival. - a WCF service that receives a zip file as an attachment and dynamically unpacks the zip to a stream for analysis - an old-school ASP (VBScript) application that produces a ZIP file via the COM interface for DotNetZIp - a Windows Forms app that reads or updates ODS files - creating zip files from stream content saving to a stream extracting to a stream reading from a stream - creation of self-extracting archives. If all you want is a better DeflateStream or GZipStream class to replace the one that is built-into the .NET BCL DotNetZip has that too. DotNetZip's DeflateStream and GZipStream are available in a standalone assembly based on a .NET port of Zlib. These streams support compression levels and deliver much better performance than the built-in classes. There is also a ZlibStream to complete the set (RFC 1950 1951 1952). And the price for all this: totally FREE . You can download it from codeplex http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/
