    "Html": "You should reference the ZipFile within a using clause.  This is not optional.  See the documentation on the ZipFile object for an explanation.  The examples in the documentation show what this looks like.  (or look at the test code in the DotNetZip source release) The MemoryStream can be closed after the ZipFile goes out of the using scope. Actually, you can use the MemoryStream within its own using clause, too. It's good form to use &quot;using&quot; with streams. ",
