    "Html": "<p>This method takes a String array with file names from a variety of locations. I am wanting to zip those files into one directory. However if two files have the same name, I get an error and the operation does not complete. Is there a way to deal with this with DotNetZip? For example if there are two files named &quot;Sample.txt&quot;, could the next one be automatically named &quot;Sample(2).txt&quot;? This way all the specified files will be saved without worries of overwriting. Thanks for your help btw the Parameters object just contains the String[], A date object, and a String destination Path. Let me know if you need any more of my other classes.</p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\r\n<div style=\"color:black;background-color:white\">\r\n<pre><span style=\"color:blue\">class</span> ZipNow\r\n    {\r\n        \r\n        String[] files;\r\n        DateTime date;\r\n        String dPath;\r\n        <span style=\"color:blue\">public</span> Parameters param;\r\n\r\n        <span style=\"color:blue\">public</span> ZipNow() { }\r\n\r\n        \r\n        <span style=\"color:blue\">public</span> <span style=\"color:blue\">bool</span> zip(Object param) <span style=\"color:green\">//save files in one folder from multiple locations</span>\r\n        {\r\n            Parameters prm = (Parameters)param;\r\n\r\n            <span style=\"color:blue\">try</span>\r\n            {\r\n                ZipFile zip = <span style=\"color:blue\">new</span> ZipFile();\r\n\r\n                <span style=\"color:green\">//add all files to the zip file</span>\r\n                <span style=\"color:blue\">for</span> (<span style=\"color:blue\">int</span> i = 0; i &lt; prm.getFiles().Length; i++)\r\n                {\r\n                    <span style=\"color:blue\">if</span> (File.Exists(prm.getFiles()[i]))\r\n                    {\r\n                        zip.AddFile(prm.getFiles()[i],<span style=\"color:#a31515\">&quot;Archive&quot;</span>);\r\n                        \r\n                    }\r\n                    <span style=\"color:blue\">else</span>\r\n                    {\r\n                        MessageBox.Show(<span style=\"color:#a31515\">&quot;File &quot;</span> + prm.getFiles()[i].ToString() + <span style=\"color:#a31515\">&quot; Does not exist.
