Question

Can System.IO.Compression assembly create zip files of some specific files like .txt, .bak or it simply create zip file of directory? I am not being able to craete zip files of specific files but rather only the zip file of directory is getting created

Answer 1

You can create a ZipArchive object and then add individual files (including just one) by creating ZipArchiveEntry objects.

As a convenience, the ZipFileExtensions class has an CreateEntryFromFile method.
