Hello ,
 
I have two files located in folder structure as follows
1) C:\Abc\Def\F1.Doc
2) C:\Abc\Hij\F2.Doc

I want to create ZIp file which will contain both F1.doc and F2.doc, by preseving their folder structure and base path as "C:\Abc". i.e. when I unzip my file at any location, then it will create F1.Doc in Def folder and F2.Doc in Hij folder and does not create "C:\Abc".

This we used to do in earlier version of xCeed by giving below property
XceedZip1.BasePath = "C:\Abc"
XceedZip1.PreservePaths = True

I am using Xceed Zip library for .NET now. Can any body provide me sample code in .NET for the same or Property names?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Xceed.Zip;
using Xceed.FileSystem;

namespace _25975_PreservZIPPath
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ZipArchive myZip = new ZipArchive(new DiskFile(@"D:\ZipTest\AllFiles.zip"));

            myZip.BeginUpdate();

            foreach (DiskFolder df in new DiskFolder(@"D:\ZipTest\").GetFolders(false))
            {
                df.CopyTo(myZip, true);
            }

            myZip.EndUpdate();
        }
    }
}

In AllFiles.zip, I have exactly

1) \Abc\Def\F1.Doc
2) \Abc\Hij\F2.Doc

since I have that folder structure + two Word documents.

Best regards,

---

I have the similar issue. How to preserve the directory hierarchy, just by taking the seperate files from different directories. ie a:\b\c\d.txt and a:\b\e\f.txt

and when i unzip, it should have c\d.txt and e\f.txt  ie rather than using entire folder contents, I need to deal with single files in a directory?

 

 

Hi Naresh,

for your particuliar situation, assuming you have a C: drive with a writable \temp folder, the simplest answer is:

namespace _26165_PreservZIPPath
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            ZipArchive myZip = new ZipArchive(new DiskFile(@"C:\Temp\AllMyFiles.zip"));

            myZip.BeginUpdate();

            foreach (DiskFolder df in new DiskFolder(@"A:\B\").GetFolders(false))
            {
                df.CopyTo(myZip, true);
            }

            myZip.EndUpdate();
        }
    }
}

Of course, for more flexibility, you could get the user input, (i.e. the starting point of the hyerarchy of the folders to be zipped), in a textbox, and the destination in another textbox, minimally.  And this would have to be activated by a click of a button, of course, splitting the code above so you get the InitiazeComponent() out of event handler code., There are tons of ways to improve the basic solution.  

Best regards

I have a similar problem where I want to retain the folder structure, but only want to zip certain files in each folder (rather than all the files).  The CopyTo method doesn't allow for a filter.  How can I zip certain files and still retain the folder structure?
