The .NET Framework 4.5 Gets ZIP: Listing 1
Creating a compressed file with System.IO.Packaging.ZIPPackage.
'Get list of files in directory tree from FolderPath (Does not capture an empty folder)
Dim files() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(FolderPath, "*.*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)
If FolderPath.EndsWith("\") Then FolderPath = FolderPath.Substring(0, FolderPath.Length - 1)
Using Zip As Package = ZipPackage.Open(ZipFullFilename, FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.ReadWrite)
For Each item In files
Dim relFile = item.Substring(FolderPath.Length)
relFile = relFile.Replace(" "c, "_"c).Replace("\", "/")
If relFile.StartsWith("/") = False Then relFile = "/" & relFile
Dim filePart As PackagePart = Zip.CreatePart(New Uri(relFile), _
Net.Mime.MediaTypeNames.Application.ZIP, Optimization)
'Read the file into a byte array that can be written to Zip stream
Dim arrBuffer As Byte() = File.ReadAllBytes(item)
filePart.GetStream().Write(arrBuffer, 0, arrBuffer.Length)
Next
End Using
