// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

// Set the password required for decrypting.
zip.DecryptPassword = "myPassword";

bool success = zip.OpenZip("encrypted.zip");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);

    Debug.WriteLine("No matching entry found.");

// lineEndingBehavior:
// 0 = leave unchanged.
// 1 = convert all to bare LF's
// 2 = convert all to CRLF's
