Compressing more than one file into .zip

Can somebody please tell me how to compress more than one file into a .ZIP
file? Any code samples would be appreciated - I am intending to tell my
application to store the contents of one field in one text file, another in
another text file, and so on, and then compress them into a single file. I
need compression and decompression capabilities.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Take a look at the sharp zip library. It is an open source
project. You will find samples included in the download.

I have used an ICSharp dll in the past to do such. I can not remember
exactly where I got it, but at the site
http://wiki.sharpdevelop.net/default.aspx you can find information about
it--however I see no place to download anything. Perhaps a Google search on
ICSharp will produce something.
