C# C SHARP : how to automatically unzip a tar.gz file using C# code

Ok this is a tough one...

I am writing a C# application to parse an error log. I can handle the file\open portion and the searching of the text files etc... the problem is the files come in a tar.gz compressed bundle cuch as winrar might open. I want people to be able to browse to the file (again, no problem) and thn have it uncompressed automatically and then I will selectively search the text files. So what C# code can I use to, once selected, open a tar.gz file and "unzip" it to a given directory for further use?

Thanks! -Karl66
