Is everyone seeing this problem? (or is it just a something screwy with my setup?).  If it's a general problem, is there a solution out there? (for instance a WP7-compatible build of the DLL)\r\nThanks.",

Copy all the files from the Zip CF project into this new project.</li>\r\n<li>Define the NETCF constant on the new project build page (for both Debug and Release)</li>\r\n<li>On ZipFile, create a new static member with type IsolatedStorageFile, and initialize it to the application's isolated storage</li>\r\n<li>Replace all the File operations with isolated storage operations e.g.<br />\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>File.Open --&gt; ZipFile.IsoStorage.OpenFile</li>\r\n<li>File.Delete --&gt; ZipFile.IsoStorage.DeleteFile</li>\r\n<li>File.Exists --&gt; ZipFile.IsoStorage.FileExists</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<p>Hope this helps anyone trying the same thing.</p>\r\n<p>Pete</p>",
