imports java.util.zip in a vb.net project.

Question

I need to import java.util.zip for my project to zip and unzip chosen files/folders in vb.net. But when i say imports java.util.zip, i get the error "Namespace cannot be found". I went in the add reference and checked in both .net and COM components bout found nothing for java. What dll would i need to make this work?

thanks

Answer 1

If you need zip/unzip using a pure managed code library, you should to take a look at SharpZipLib

Answer 2

You might be talking about some ancient J# library, in which case you'll have to reference vjslib.dll

Don't do that though.

Use a sane,small Zip library, such as DotNetZip
