I have a bunch of files I need to put into Compressed (zipped) Folder,
MyFiles.zip file, similarly to what Windows XP does when you send files to
compressed zipped folder. What is the simplest way to compress these files
into a .zip?

I found System.IO.Compression, but I am not sure how to use it to do what I
need to do. Does anyone have an example of how to send a bunch of files
into compressed (zipped) folder?

Thanks,

System.IO.Compression doesn't give support for actual zip files. You'll
need to use a 3rd party library such as #ZipLib:

In .NET 2.0 there is a zip lib.

There are compression classes, but nothing to create a zip file. As I
said before, using a third party library like #ZipLib is the way to go.
