Xceed Zip for .NET is a data compression and all-purpose file manipulation class library for the Microsoft .NET framework.

It provides flexible zip, unzip and streaming data compression capabilities for .NET applications.

The library includes an innovative and extensible filesystem object model that makes zip files as easy to work with as regular files or folders.

Xceed Zip for .NET is the only managed .NET library to offer advanced Zip features such as the ability to create split and spanned zip files, create customized self-extracting Zip files (.EXE), support flexible memory operations and offer the enhanced Deflate64(tm) compression method.

Created by the makers of high-quality compression components since 1994, Xceed Zip for .NET represents the state of the art in compression libraries.

It has been completely redesigned and rewritten in 100% managed C# code to offer .NET and ASP.NET developers the highest performance and flexibility possible.

It is also easier to use than ever before, requiring only a single line of code to accomplish basic Zip and data compression tasks.

The library comes with full support for VB.NET and C# and includes a variety of useful and interesting sample applications.

To increase development momentum, the library's classes integrate seamlessly with the .NET base class library and the component offers comprehensive Visual Studio .NET style documentation.
