You could use the #ziplib library. http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sharpziplib/[^]

hi,

that is a useful link but i wanted to write the code in vb.net soi know what it means. do you know any vb.net code?

The #ziplib assembly is written in C# but it's an assembly. You can use it in your VB.NET application like any other .NET assembly.

... or am I failing to understand what you're wanting to do? I thought you needed to extract the contents of a ZIP file from your VB.NET application. Is that what you're wanting? If so, then my answer will do what you need. Or are you looking at writing your own ZIP/UNZIP routines?
