C# Systems.Reflection on IonicZip.dll

Kannan Nakkeeran

I have been using Reflection to use Ionic.Zip.dll. I am able to create an instance of the ZipFile type but not able to access the Read method to extract a file.

Kindly share your thoughts. Thanks

var DLL = Assembly.LoadFile(@"C:\Tools Use\Ionic.Zip.dll");
var ZipFile = DLL.GetType("Ionic.Zip.ZipFile");
var c = Activator.CreateInstance(ZipFile);
var method = ZipFile.GetMethod("Read", BindingFlags.Static);
//var method = theType.GetMethod("Read");
//method.Invoke(c, new object[] { @"C:\Source\Filea" });

yes the "C" instance works as expected..But it doesnot identify the method by name

I confirmed the method exists here

Have you checked that "C" got the activator instance in debug mode, is that works as expected?
