Create ZIP Files in Asp.net C#, VB.NET | ZIP Files Archive in ASP.Net

To implement this first we need to get Ionic.Zip.dll  from DotnetZIP Library for that check this link  Ionic.Zip.dll  or you can get it from attached downloadable code. Now you need to add that dll to your application bin folder for that check below steps

Go to Solution Explorer --> Right click on it and go to Add ASP.NET folder --> click on Bin

Now bin folder added to our application and place  Ionic.Zip.dll  in that folder and add another folder in your application (Right click on your application -à Select New folder) and give name as SampleFiles

Default.aspx:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Create ZIP Files in Asp.net using c#,vb.net</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload1" runat="server" />
<asp:Button ID="btnUpload" runat="server" Text="Upload Files" onclick="btnUpload_Click" />
<asp:Button ID="btnZip" Text="Create Zip Files" runat="server" onclick="btnZip_Click" />
<asp:Label ID="lbltxt" runat="server" Font-Bold="true" ForeColor="Red" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Default.aspx.cs:(c#)
using System;
using System.IO;
using Ionic.Zip;



// insert files in folder
protected void btnUpload_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(fileUpload1.HasFile)
{
string filename = Path.GetFileName(fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName);
string path = Server.MapPath("~/SampleFiles/" + filename);
fileUpload1.SaveAs(path);
lbltxt.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully";
}
}
// Zip all files from folder
protected void btnZip_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string path = Server.MapPath("~/SampleFiles/");
string[] filenames = Directory.GetFiles(path);
using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
zip.AddFiles(filenames,"files");
zip.Save(Server.MapPath("~/samplefiles.zip"));
lbltxt.Text = "ZIP File Created Successfully";
}
}

Default.aspx.cs:(VB.NET)

Imports System.IO
Imports Ionic.Zip
Partial Class VBCode
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
' insert files in folder
Protected Sub btnUpload_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If fileUpload1.HasFile Then
Dim filename As String = Path.GetFileName(fileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName)
Dim path__1 As String = Server.MapPath("~/SampleFiles/" & filename)
fileUpload1.SaveAs(path__1)
lbltxt.Text = "File Uploaded Successfully"
End If
End Sub
' Zip all files from folder
Protected Sub btnZip_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim path As String = Server.MapPath("~/SampleFiles/")
Dim filenames As String() = Directory.GetFiles(path)
Using zip As New ZipFile()
zip.AddFiles(filenames, "files")
zip.Save(Server.MapPath("~/samplefiles.zip"))
lbltxt.Text = "ZIP File Created Successfully"
End Using
End Sub
End Class

Unit tests are automated tests that verify the behavior code like methods and functions. Writing unit tests is crucial to clean coding, as they help ensure your code works as intended and catches bugs early in the development process. I can share some tips for writing effective unit tests: Write tests for all public methods Every public method in your code should have a corresponding unit test. This helps ensure that your code behaves correctly and catches any unexpected behavior early. public class Calculator { public int Add(int a, int b) { return a + b; } } [TestClass] public class CalculatorTests { [TestMethod] public void Add_ShouldReturnCorrectSum() { // Arrange Calculator calculator = new Calculator(); int a = 1; int b = 2; // Act int result = calculator.Add(a, b); // Assert Assert.AreEqual(3, result); } } Test boundary conditions  Make sure to test boundary conditions, such a...

What to choose between .NET Core and .NET?

 .NET Framework is a better choice if you: you don't have enough time time to learn new technology. Need a stable environment to work in. Have nearer release schedules. you are already working on an existing app and extending its functionality. If already have an existing team with .NET expertise and building production-ready software. Do not want to deal with continuous upgrades and changes. Building Windows client applications using Windows Forms or WPF .NET Core is a better choice if you: IF you wanted to deploy your app on Windows, Linux, and Mac operating systems. Are not afraid of learning new things. Are not afraid of breaking and fixing things since .NET Core is not fully matured yet. When you are learning .NET. work on open source.
