zip/unzip with the win32 api
Hi,
I'm looking for a call to the Win32 API to zip/unzip files.
I do not want to use a 3rd party implementation (no sharpziplib or the like) nor do I want to use the .NET implementations of deflate or GZip, neither of those suit my needs. I searched around on Pinvoke.net for the correct function(s) but was unable to find a suitable one.
Does anyone know if a function for this exists in the Win32 API? I know they do it someplace as in XP &Â Vista you can view compressed ZIP files as well as the Office 2007 files are really just zipped up containers (this is what I need it for actually). In C++ or C# would be great.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Thanks but unfortunately that uses the above referenced SharpZip library which is not something I'm allowed to use for this project.

Thanks for the tip! They (MS) have such a strange way of organizing some of the dotnet framework!!
is this what you were looking for?
