NET Zip Component ZipForgeNET description
.NET Zip Component with AES encryption, Unicode, NTFS timestamps and SFX support

.NET Zip Component ZipForge.NET is a powerful and fast .NET Framework component for ZIP compression.

ZipForge.NET lets you easily create zip files, extract files from zip archives to hard drive, add files to a zip archive, replace, move and delete files. You can also read compressed files from a zip archive into memory, and write the files from memory into a zip archive. Additionaly you can create and read self-extracted SFX archives, encrypted and multi-volume zip files.

ZipForge.NET includes our new unique technology, a transaction system. This innovative solution gives you a fast and easy way of updating archive files
providing data integrity just like reliable database systems.
