Use DotNetZip

Usage example: archive creation

 using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile()) { // add this map file into the "images" directory in the zip archive zip.AddFile("c:\\images\\personal\\7440-N49th.png", "images"); // add the report into a different directory in the archive zip.AddFile("c:\\Reports\\2008-Regional-Sales-Report.pdf", "files"); zip.AddFile("ReadMe.txt"); zip.Save("MyZipFile.zip"); }

And about file compression, read more here and here.

You need a toolkit from System.IO.Compression .

An example of creating the archive C:\result.zip , containing the file C:\data.txt :

 using (var fileStream = new FileStream(@"C:\result.zip", FileMode.Create)) using (var archive = new ZipArchive(fileStream, ZipArchiveMode.Create)) { archive.CreateEntryFromFile(@"C:\data.txt", "data.txt"); }

To use the CreateEntryFromFile extension method, you must connect the System.IO.Compression.FileSystem assembly.

I recommend to study the following manual: https://msdn.microsoft.com/ru-ru/library/ms404280(v=vs.110).aspx

Archiving is a very broad concept. If we are talking about creating an archive file in one of the common formats, see the answers of users.

If you just need to compress the file in order to reduce the volume, and store it at least on the file system, even in RAM, the more lightweight GZipStream will do .

  • Thanks for the help, first you need to compress the file, and then upload it to the archive - user222335
