ZIP FILE/DIRECTORY WITH PASSWORD

Hi mwochnick,

Is there any native from VS ?

Thank you.

Ok.

If I use 3rd party zip, what should I copy to client computer ?

Could we use rar to do so, zip and password using VB Code ?

Thank you.

you should be able to use any of the zip clients that support the zip format.
Winzip
7zip
etc

With a 3rd party DLL, you can deploy this DLL as part of your application so it would work on client computers. With a program like RAR, this program will be required to be installed on client computers if you need to zip/unzip from your program so DLL is the way to go in my opinion.

Hi CodeCruiser,

If I use rar, what dll do I need ?

Thank you.

Sharpzip supports Zip. For rar

Where is the dll file reside ?

Do I have to add it to references ?

Thank you.

Yes. It will reside in same folder as your program.

I am sorry, just back.

-Yes. It will reside in same folder as your program.
I mean where is the dll of the 3rd party rar and what is the name ?

Thank you.

Any particular reason for using rar? Free zip libraries can easily be downloaded. I have not seen many for rar (there is a paid chilkot component).

No, I meant any zip libraries. I've never noticed the dll from zip librariy. Usually I just install and use it. Where is the dll reside and what is its name to be used inside VB ?

Thank you.

Hi All,
