The goal is to recursively walk a path and place all files in the root of the archive with no folders.</p>\r\n<p>Files involved:</p>\r\n<p>C:\\temp\\test1.txt<br> C:\\temp\\test2.txt<br> C:\\temp\\folder1\\text3.txt<br> C:\\temp\\folder2\\test4.txt</p>\r\n<p>If I make the following call, I only end up with test1.txt and test2.txt in the root of the archive. Even though &quot;recursive&quot; is set to true it is not walking the tree. Notice that directoryPathInArchive is set to empty string so that all files in placed in root. If I make thecall without the directoryPathInArchive property the tree is walked as expected. It seems to be the combination of directoryPathInArchive=&quot;&quot; and recursive=true that is causing the problem.</p>\r\n<p>zip.AddSelectedFiles(&quot;*.*&quot;, filePathToZip, &quot;&quot;, true);&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; // with filePathToZip being &quot;C:\\temp&quot;</p>\r\n<p>Is this a known issue or is my implementation incorrect?</p>\r\n<p>Thanks,<br> Bob</p>",

    "Html": "<p>Cheeso,</p>\r\n<p>Thanks for the quick reply. I don't believe I made the part about the files in the root very clear. In my tests (just ran them again) the only files I get AT ALL in the archive are the two in the root. The folder structure is gone entirely. Whether &quot;recursive&quot; is set to true or false I get the exact same result: test1.txt and test2.txt in the root of the archive and nothing else - no other files - no other folders.</p>\r\n<p>Thanks again for any help you can provide.</p>\r\n<p>- Bob</p>",
