I am trying to make a simple archiving application in Visual Basic.net

I have only just begun learning vb.net but so far everything seems to work
ok but I have now come to the point where I would like to zip the
files/directories to be archived. The ideal would be a function that I could
all with something like

compress(theTarget, theSource)

Can someone help with suggestions on how to do something that, as easy as
possible?

TIA
