Using the zipping utility of windows XP

Hi guys,

I am trying to use the zipping utility of Windows XP, any idea of how to call it from a console app?


Thanks
Andres

Hi andreshs1,

The compression functionality available in Windows XP is not what you think
it is. It does not compress as winzip does. It works like the "Compress
drive to save disk space" option ( when u right click on a drive and see
the options there). It will only compress files that are older than a specified
period of time.

Instead, u can refer VJ# available with .Net and you can use the java
functionality to do an actual zip. Search the net for VJSLIB and u'll get
the code. :)

Hi,

thanks for the info, I finally decided to use SharpZipLib, a great GNL library for C#


once again Thanks

Andres
