asked on c# file class that can be added to zip archive.
I have a console application that creates several text files on disk, then adds them to a zip file.
What I would like to do is:
1. create the files as "virtual" files, ie create a class for each file with name and contents
2. write these class files to a zip archive.
Any thoughts appreciated.

So you want to serialize instances of this class to a file? Can you expand your explanation a tad?

hey, kaufmed, thanks for the reply.
I was thinking that I don't really need a physical file on disk if I can create a class with a name property and a content property (the other file properties are not useful to me). I could create this class instead of a physical file, and then add it to a zip archive as if it was a physical
file. I'm just not sure how to go about it.
If I create the physical file then I would need to delete it after it is added to the zip archive.

Your help has saved me hundreds of hours of internet surfing.
