Hi,

I am new to using Xceed and have spent most of the morning banging my head against a number of brick walls. I am trying to write some code that will allow me to zip/unzip a single file into/from an archive. I know that this should be very simple but I just can't get it to work properly regardless of how I try and do it. So far I have tried the following to get the file C:\file.txt zipped into an archive called c:\archive.zip. Any help ar advice would be greatly appreciated!

 
Thanks,

 
Ian

1) QuickZip

Code: 

QuickZip.Zip(@"C:\archive.zip", @"C:\file.txt");

Problem:

This appears to be blocked by the corporate anti-virus software as I think it is trying to write into a temporary folder and doesn't have the correct permissions.

Error:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException was unhandled
  Message="Access to the path 'C:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Application Data\\Symantec\\SRTSP\\SrtETmp' is denied."
  Source="Xceed.FileSystem"

2)  From Martin Plante's blog 

 Took code from here but no archive was created at all: http://blogs.xceedsoft.com/plantem/PermaLink.aspx?guid=7b3858fb-3d0f-43d8-8beb-7252943d68f1

My code: 

AbstractFile zipFile = new DiskFile(@"C:\archive.zip");

AbstractFile textFile = new ZippedFile(zipFile, @"C:\file.txt");

 3) From another online example:

ZipEvents ze = new ZipEvents();

DiskFile sourceFile = new DiskFile(@"C:\archive.zip");

sourceFile.Create(ze, @"C:\file.txt");

- creates an archive but there's nothing in it

: 

I'll make this very simple:

With the FileSystem:

//To zip
AbstractFile zipFile = new DiskFile( @"C:\Archive.zip" );
ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive( zipFile );

AbstractFile textFile = new DiskFile( @"C:\Test.txt" );
textFile.CopyTo( archive, true );

//To unzip all the archive's file
AbstractFolder destinationFolder = new DiskFolder( @"C:\Destination" );
archive.CopyFilesTo( destinationFolder, true, true, null );
//To unzip the Test.txt file
archive.CopyFilesTo( destinationFolder, true, true, "Test.txt" );

Using QuickZip:

QuickZip.Zip( @"C:\archive.zip", @"C:\Test.txt" );
//You can modify the temp folder using this line
ZipArchive.DefaultTempFolder = @"C:\TempFolder";
QuickZip.Unzip( @"C:\archive.zip", @"C:\Destination", "*" );
