Extract ZIP File using code

All,
I'm wanting to copy a zip file from a network to the local PC (not a problem) however I also need to unzip the files within the zip file to a specified location on the users machine. Can this be done through VB code

Hope you can help

Cheers

    .NET doesnt provide Zip Functionality out of the box. You'll need to find a third party component to handle this.

    A simple web search will reveal many components. A common one used is

    http://www.sharpziplib.com/

    Another option maybe to use something 7-Zip from http://www.7-zip.org/ which has a command-line interface, using ProcessStart

    .NET does have some compression routines - but they are not winzip file compatible. This is the System.IO.Compression namespace.
