How To Create A Zip File Using C#



TODO:

Have you ever wanted to create a .zip file using C#?

 

SOLUTION:

 

public static string Compress(FileInfo fi)
        {
            // Get the stream of the source file.
            using (FileStream inFile = fi.OpenRead())
            {
                // Prevent compressing already compressed files.
                if ((File.GetAttributes(fi.FullName)
                    & FileAttributes.Hidden)
                    != FileAttributes.Hidden & fi.Extension != ".zip")
                {
                    // Create the compressed file.
                    using (FileStream outFile =
                                File.Create(fi.FullName + ".zip"))
                    {
                        using (GZipStream Compress =
                            new GZipStream(outFile,
                            CompressionMode.Compress))
                        {
                            // Copy the source file into the compression stream.
                            inFile.CopyTo(Compress);

                            return fi.FullName + ".zip";
                        }
                    }
                }

                return "";
            }
