hi!

\r\n

I am new using the DoNetZip Library. I am have a simple code to zip a folder:

\r\n

\r\n

 using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile()) \r\n

\r\n
{
\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

\r\n
 try{\r\n

zip.AddDirectory(@"C:\\Example\\Example2"); //I want to zip the folder Example 2

\r\n\r\n

\r\n

 zip.Save("Example2.zip"); //New zip information

\r\n

\r\n
\r\n

\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n

  }

\r\n

\r\n

 catch (Exception e) { 

\r\n

 ................

\r\n

 

\r\n

\r\n

\r\n

\r\n

}

\r\n

}

\r\n

\r\n

 I always get "Example2.zip" under the my projects files(bin) of  Visual Studio.

\r\n

There is a way to change the destination path and that It creates under the same  directory; in this example under "C:\\Examples\\Example2.zip" ?

\r\n

 

\r\n

Thank you!

\r\n

Hi!

\r\n

I found the solution... :)

\r\n

it´s just:  zip.save(@"C:\\Example\\"+"Example2.zip")

\r\n

Greetings!

Ya, what you have will work, but:

\r\n
    \r\n
  1. There's no need to do string concatenation, like so: "c:\\Example\\" + "Example2.zip" .  You can just specify the full path in one string: "c:\\Example\\Example2.zip". 
    2. \r\n
  2. If you DO use string concatenation to build paths, I suggest the base library function Path.Concat()
    3. \r\n
  3. Saving a zip file into the same folder that you are zipping, results in undefined behavior. 
    4. \r\n

Hi Cheeso!

\r\n

 

\r\n

Thank you for your advice! However I didn´t understood the 3rd point. Why it results in undefined behavior?

You're saving a zip to the directory that you are zipping. I suppose " undefined" is the wrong word. What I mean is non- idempotent. On the first attempt it will work. On succesive saves, when the zip already exists, the resulting zip may contain file entries that are not valid.

ok!  now I understand what you mean :)

hi, i got a question about the zip file destination.

\r\n

i zip a file named "123.txt", then i set the destination as "C:\\Program File\\abc.zip"..but when i extract the folder in Program File, it wil extract the folder with full path i set previously, which mean the extracted file name is "Program File", the full\r\n path of my file 123.txt is "C:\\Program File\\Program File\\123.txt"..if i set the destination name longer, then, it will extract my file in multiple layer, for example, destination is "C:\\Program File\\abc\\efg\\abc.zip", after i extract it in my Program File,\r\n the 123.txt will have a path like this "C:\\Program File\\Program File\\abc\\efg\\123.txt"..what i want is only the file extract to Program File but not multi layers folder.

\r\n

can anyone help me? thank you very much....
