In this tutorial, we delve into using the Iron Zip Library to manage ZIP files in C. The video begins by instructing viewers to set up a C console application in Visual Studio and install the Iron Zip Library using the NuGet Package Manager. With the library installed, viewers learn to create an empty ZIP file using the Iron Archive class, setting the stage for adding content. Files can be added using the add archive entry method, accommodating files from various directories. The tutorial also covers extracting files with the extract archive to directory method, demonstrating how to specify the ZIP file and destination folder. For existing ZIP files, the from file method allows adding more files, highlighting the flexibility of the Iron Zip Library. The tutorial concludes by showcasing the results, with output files successfully generated and extracted. This hands-on guide emphasizes the ease and efficiency of managing ZIP archives in C projects, encouraging users to explore the library further through a trial available on the Iron Software website.
