1. DON'T SHOUT!
2. I use ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib which can be freely downloaded and also used in commercial applications.
Code looks like that:

C#

foreach (string folderToZip in foldersToZip)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(folderToZip) && Directory.Exists(folderToZip))
    {
        string targetFile = Path.Combine(targetFolder, Path.GetFileName(folderToZip) + ".zip");
        ZipPath(targetFile, folderToZip, null, true, null);
    }
}

and

C#

public static void ZipPath(string zipFilePath, string sourceDir, string pattern, bool withSubdirs, string password)
{
    FastZip fz = new FastZip();
    if (password != null)
        fz.Password = password;

    fz.CreateZip(zipFilePath, sourceDir, withSubdirs, pattern);
}
