Create VB.Net applcation to unzip into a folder without using a tthird party DLL?

Hi ALL!!!!


I am Selvam...

I have the doubt!

I used System.IO.Packaging & System.IO.Compression to make zip files...

Similarly Can we do Unzip with that above packages?

Without any third party DLL is it possible to create to unzip files into a folder which I specified?

... there are no zip/unzip functions in vb.net ...

The .NET Framework includes GZipStream and related classes, but they only support compression, not the standard ZIP file structure. This article explains how you can handle correctly zipping and unzipping folders and files including using a zip password
