I get an exception saying that the file must end with .zip when using the ZipFile constructor.<br /><br />I'm working around this by using ZipFile.Read which doesn't do the .zip check. I'm just wondering is the .zip check really necessary?<br />",

This is a pretty common scenario (nee System.IO.Packaging, OPC, SCORM eLearning packages, etc.)  You may wish to reconsider whether hardcoding .zip extensions is really a benefit to this library...<br /><br /><div class=\"quote\" style=\"border: dotted .1em #aaa; border-left: none; border-right: none; font-style: italic; margin: 1em 0em 2.5em 3em;padding: .2em;\"><br />Cheeso wrote:<br />why the check for a .zip extension in the constructor?
