    Zip method example for VC++
    In This Topic

    The following code uses the Zip method to compress the file "c:\test\my file.dat" into the zip file "c:\test\my test.zip". You should check the Zip method's return value once you are done – if it is xerSuccess (value 0) the operation was successful. Otherwise, look up the error code in the error codes topic to find out what went wrong.

    VC++ Copy Code
    #include "stdafx.h"
    #include <stdio.h>
    #import "xceedzip.dll" named_guids no_namespace
    int main(int argc, char* argv[])
    {
       CoInitialize( NULL ); 
       try
       {
          IXceedZipPtr piXceedZip( CLSID_XceedZip ); 
          piXceedZip->License( _bstr_t( L"your license key ) );
          long xErr;  
          piXceedZip->ZipFilename = "c:\\test\\my test.zip";
          piXceedZip->FilesToProcess = "c:\\test\\my file.dat"; 
          xErr = piXceedZip->Zip(); 
          if ( xErr == 0 ) // xerSuccess
          {
             printf( "Zip file created successfully" );
          }
          else
          {
             printf( "Error %08x occured while zipping\n", xErr );
          }
       }
       catch( const _com_error& xErr )
       {
          printf( "COM error %08x. %S\n", xErr.Error(), ( const char* )xErr.Description() );
       }
       catch( ... )
       {
          printf( "Unexpected error\n" );
       } 
       CoUninitialize();
       return 0;
    }
