Zip a directory tree. C#

bool success = false;

//  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

string zipPath = "c:/temp/myFiles.zip";

//  Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath);

//  Append references to files to be zipped.
bool recurse = true;
success = zip.AppendFiles("c:/temp/files_to_zip/*",recurse);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Write the .zip and close the zip file (and clears the zip object).
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Successfully created " + zipPath);

//  If the following files existed under c:/temp/files_to_zip

//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/aaa/pigs.json
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/base64Cert.txt
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/hamlet.xml
//  c:/temp/files_to_zip/hello.pdf

//  then the zip we created would contain:

//  aaa/pigs.json
//  bbb/base64Cert.txt
//  bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
//  bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
//  bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
