Create zip file without inclusion of folders.

Question

i have tried below code, and it is creating zip file . but the problem is when i unzip it , i have seen that it is saving my file (csv file) but with all root folder. i just want that when i unzip my zip file, there should be only csv file , not all root folder.

ZipFile zipFile = new ZipFile();
zipFile.CompressionLevel = Ionic.Zlib.CompressionLevel.BestCompression;
zipFile.Password = "password";
var imagePath = Server.MapPath("~/Content/Report.csv");
zip.AddFile(imagePath, string.Empty);    
var saveToFilePath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/Report.zip");
zipFile.Save(saveToFilePath);

Can anyone please help me .?

@EvanTrimboli i want to protect my zip file with password. that's why i have given password. — User5590, May 15 '14 at 04:53
I understand that, but what is the relevance? Your question is asking about how the file extracts. Is the behaviour different if you don't use a password? — Evan Trimboli, May 15 '14 at 05:09
@EvanTrimboli yes, i am getting same result whether i will use password or not. — User5590, May 15 '14 at 05:20

If you want to store only files in zip without folder which contains these files then you must use:

zipFile.Options.StorePath = StorePathMode.NoPath;
