Question Sample Code Needed for Unzipping File

[gozzgug]

I am new to vb .net. I have a good knowledge of vbscript but am just starting in vb .net. I have install visual studio express but don't know where to start. I have a vbscript that does the following but I want to do it in vb .net and was hoping someone could post some sample code to get me started. The script does the following.

Monitors 2 folders specified in a config file.
When a zip file is put in the one of the folders it us automatically unzipped to a working folder and then the zip file is renamed to unzipped-<zip>.zip.

I am hoping someone could post a visual studio project or code that might help me get started. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Goz

Thread moved from VS.NET General, which is for general questions on the VS.NET IDE.

Thread title changed to more accurately reflect the topic.

VB.NET Zip Compression Example Source Code

GZipStream Class (System.IO.Compression)

Also WinZip has a command line version that can be used. You just need to send the proper commands to zip & unzip the file but would require whatever user to also have this same version installed.

This one's free: .NET Zip Library #ziplib (SharpZipLib)

Monitor with FileSystemWatcher Class (System.IO) or check periodically with a Timer.
