  Hi, I’m using the c1.C1Zip library
  
  I want to zip a folder, but I need that the folder too is in the zip file.
  
  When I use “addfolder” it add the content inside the directory,
  
  but I loose the main directory.
  
  Can you say how can I do.

  Example : if I zip this directory1 I what to find it in the zip and not only file1 and file2.

  
  directory1	\file1
  			\file2
  
  

  thank you

  Hi!

  It seems that you are trying to add a zipped folder to another zipped folder. For this, use Entries.Add (http://help.grapecity.com/componentone/NetHelp/c1zip/webframe.html#C1.C1Zip.4~C1.C1Zip.C1ZipEntryCollection~Add.html) method instead of AddFolder method.

  For demonstration purpose, you can find C1Zipper sample (refer AddFileList function in Form1.cs file) at this location :
  
  \Documents\ComponentOne Samples\WinForms\C1Zip\CS\C1Zipper

  The code should look something like this :

  // add files
  foreach (string file in files)
  {
           // add the file
           try
           {
                    _zipFile.Entries.Add(file, pathLevels);
                    Application.DoEvents();
           }
           catch (Exception x)
           {
                   //Exception handling code here...
           }
  }
  

  Best regards,

  Hi, no maybe i did not explain good,
  
  If we refer to the directory above
  
  and i user zip.AddDirectory(path_mydirectory1)
  
  in the zip file i will find : file1 and file2.
  
  I would like to have the main directory1 as first entry.

  Thanx

  Hi!

  So you are willing to add this zipped folder (containing file1 and file2) into directory1. In this case, I would like to inform you that you can perform operations such as add, delete within a main parent zipped folder only.

  There is no workaround to add zipped file(s) and folder(s) into a simple folder using C1ZipFile.

  Do let me know if there is anything with which I can help you.

  Best regards,
