So when I go to extract this particular file, it extracts out to the path it has in it's 'FileName' property, which is wrong</p>\n<p>The other files work because they're being added using AddDirectory()... for some reason they don't retain the full path in their FileName property and the single file does</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<p>So I gather you are not expecting anyone, to create an archive like this:</p>\n<p><span>&nbsp;</span></p>\n<pre>using (var zip = new ZipFile())\n\n{\n\n  zip.AddFile(ReportProperties.AscxFullPath); // *EDIT: looks like i have to add a 2nd arg, \"\")\n\n  zip.AddFile(ReportProperties.CodeBehindFileFullPath);\n\n  zip.AddDirectory(ReportProperties.SupportFilesFullPath);&nbsp;</pre>\n<pre>  zip.Save(reportFileTarStream);\n\n}</pre>",
