Creating Zip Files

Is there access in VB2005 that allows creation of compressed (Zip) files, or at least has access to the windows-based utility that puts files into a compressed folder?

Nothing that ships with the .NET Framework, but you can download and use SharpZipLib for free.

There is a new System.IO.Compression.GZipStream that handles zipped streams, however this does not handle zip files and entries so you will have to write your own code around it.

I have used the SharpZipLib that James suggested and it works well.

I have used it as well with great success. ;)

Can you post the wrapper you have for unzipping files.

Thanks,
