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 theZipFile
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.
