Extract 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 with a '.zip' extension. ZIP archives are commonly used for data backup, software distribution, and file sharing.

To extract files from a ZIP archive, you can utilize the ExtractArchiveToDirectory method. Specify the location of the ZIP file and the directory to which you want to extract the files.

Namespace Usage: The System.IO.Compression namespace is used to access the ZipFile class, which provides static methods for creating, extracting, and manipulating ZIP archives.
Error Handling: The extraction is wrapped in a try-catch block to handle any potential exceptions, such as issues with file paths or access permissions.
