Create ZIP

ZIP is a file compression and archiving format used to reduce file sizes for efficient storage and transmission. It combines multiple files and directories into a single archive, often named with a '.zip' extension. ZIP archives are widely used for data backup, software distribution, and file sharing.

To create a ZIP file, use the 'using' statement to instantiate a ZIP object. Inside the using block, invoke the AddArchiveEntry method to add files to the ZIP file. The entry file path can be a directory where all the files in the folder will be added to the ZIP. Export the ZIP file with the SaveAs method.
