So you cannot call zip.Add(&quot;Readme.txt&quot;).   If you try this, an exception will be thrown. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe workaround is to create a new zip archive, and overwrite the existing one. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nA reasonable feature request for the DotNetZip library is to allow ZipFile.Add(string Filename) when a file by the name of Filename already exists in the zip archive. <br>\r\nThat seems like a reasonable thing, I'll have to think about how to do it.  <br>\r\n<br>\r\nOption 1:<br>\r\nexpand the meaning of AddFile() to allow any file, even files already added to the archive?  This seems maybe a little wrong.  It changes the behavior of the existing library, and so may break existing apps. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nOption 2: <br>\r\nadd a flag to the ZipFile object, named, say, AllowUpdate.  This would explicitly allow the behavior that currently throws an exception.   This would not break existing apps. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nOption 3:<br>\r\nadd another method, for example ZipFile.UpdateFile().  This also would not break existing apps.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOr I could do a combination of Option 2 &amp; 3. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nyour vote?<br>\r\n",

    "Html": "<p>What I am thinking about is this...<br>\r\nYou would create a zip file as normal, for example: </p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<pre>      using (ZipFile z1 = new ZipFile())\r\n      {\r\n        String[] filenames = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(&quot;DirectoryToBackup&quot;);\r\n        foreach (String f in filenames)        \r\n          z1.AddFile(f, &quot;&quot;);        \r\n        z1.Comment = &quot;This archive is a backup&quot;;\r\n        z1.Save(ZipFileToCreate);\r\n      }\r\n</pre>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>Then, to update an entry in that zipfile, you might do something like this: </p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<pre>      // update that file in the zip archive\r\n      using (ZipFile z2 = ZipFile.OpenForUpdate(ZipFileToCreate))\r\n      {\r\n        z2.UpdateFile(NameOfFileToUpdate, &quot;&quot;);\r\n        z2.Comment = &quot;This backup archive has been updated.&quot;;\r\n        z2.Save();\r\n      }\r\n</pre>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>There are two new methods on the ZipFile class here.  First, the OpenForUpdate() static method. It is like the static ZipFile.Read() method, but it opens the ZipFile and allows updates of the entries. (An alternative interface would be to use ZipFile.Read, coupled with a public boolean property, maybe named AllowUpdates.)    The second new method is the ZipFile.UpdateFile() method.  This must be used when adding a file to a zipfile, when an entry using that filename already exists in the zipfile.  [ We need the new method so as to not break the current behavior of AddFile() ]<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe code using ZipFile.Read() and AllowUpdates might look like this: </p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<pre>      // update that file in the zip archive\r\n      using (ZipFile z3 = ZipFile.Read(ZipFileToCreate))\r\n      {\r\n        z3.AllowUpdates = true; \r\n        z3.UpdateFile(NameOfFileToUpdate, &quot;&quot;);\r\n        z3.Save();\r\n      }\r\n</pre>\r\n</blockquote>\r\n<p>I have checked in a changeset that does both of these - OpenForUpdate <i>as well as</i> Read + AllowUpdates. I haven't yet uploaded a binary. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nConsider also the removal case.  What if the application wants to remove a file from an existing zip archive?  Though the current (1.4) code does allow adding new entries to a ZipFile, it does not allow removing entries.  So we need a new method like ZipFile.RemoveEntry() for that purpose. <br>\r\n<br>\r\nThinking about this a bit more, it may be that we don't need the AllowUpdates flag, nor the OpenForUpdate() method.   If the only way to Update a file in a zip archive is to call a new API - UpdateFile() -  and the only way to remove an entry from a ZipFile is to call a new API - RemoveEntry()  -  then why not just use the existing static ZipFile.Read() method, and if the app calls these new APIs, allow it?  If the app calls AddFile() with a filename that corresponds to an entry already in the ZipFile, then throw as before.   <br>\r\n<br>\r\nIt would make for a simpler interface.   The code would then just be: <br>\r\n</p>\r\n<blockquote>\r\n<pre>      // update that file in the zip archive\r\n      using (ZipFile z3 = ZipFile.Read(ZipFileToCreate))\r\n      {\r\n        z3.UpdateFile(NameOfFileToUpdate, &quot;&quot;);\r\n        z3.Save();\r\n      }\r\n</pre>\r\n</blockquote>",
