<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a small VB program that compares the contents of two different directories. &nbsp;If a file from Dir1 is newer that a file in Dir2 then the file in dir2 is moved to an archive folder, and replaced with the newer file.<br />
Once this program is finished, I have to manully zip up all the old files for storage and possible retrieval later on.<br />
I would like to create the zip file on the fly, and then zip and send the older files to this newly created zip file through code.<br />
Can anyone help me out with this?

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.
