archiving folder in .NET

Question

I need to archive(zip/compress...) a folder in my application I use .NET4?

I try to find examples in google,but I didnt find nothing.

Any idea how can I implement archiving of a folder in .NET4?

I've used SharpZipLib in the past. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6359868/sharpziplib-adding-folders-directories-to-a-zip-archive http://stackoverflow.com/questions/905654/zip-folder-in-c-sharp — sambomartin, May 07 '13 at 09:24
There are plenty of libraries for zipping in .NET. Just search zip, not archive. — CodeCaster, May 07 '13 at 09:24

The DotNetZip library is very well documented and easy to use.
You can download the library (just one file) from here.

This example is all that you need to write

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
    zip.AddDirectory(@"MyDocuments\ProjectX", "ProjectX");
    zip.Comment = "This zip was created at " + System.DateTime.Now.ToString("G") ; 
    zip.Save(zipFileToCreate);
}
