Windows application to download files in zipped format from supplied path (using c sharp)

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.
