Info-ZIP C# wrapper article at Codeproject

Many of today's applications require the capability of extracting certain files from a ZIP archive, either onto the hard disk or into memory. A lot of useful zip libraries for .NET applications abound on the Web (SharpZipLib for .NET Framework is a very known one), but I wanted to use the Info-ZIP library as it was always my favorite library for C++ projects.

Info-ZIP is an Open Source version of Phil Katz's "deflate" and "inflate" routines used in his popular file compression program, PKZIP. Info-ZIP code has been incorporated into a number of third-party products as well, both commercial and freeware. It offers two dynamic link libraries: one for zipping, and one for unzipping.

The Info-ZIP DLLs are free to use and distribute, but they are designed to be used in C/C++ projects, so they're not really .NET-friendly. Also, the Info-ZIP package contains almost no documentation showing how to use the Info-ZIP DLLs.

Therefore, I decided to write a small C# wrapper that provides all the required data types and functions in order to give the possibility to work with the Info-ZIP API...
