zip & unzip library (with source)

[Louis]

Hi. My device does NOT support .net framework 2.0 at all, it will only run the .net framework 1.0 SP3. The dlls I downloaded were from your second post, not the post at the beginning and that is the error I got. Should I try a config file anyway? Thanks. .net 1.0 SP3 is installed on my Pocket PC by default and it cannot be removed. Tell Freedom Scientific thanks when you get the chance, LOL. They made it!

Hi Louis,

You are right. I confirmed the error, I didn't tested it previously that way.
It is a strange behaviour.

I did a hard reset to a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, I installed B4PPC and I tryed to load ziptest1.sbp. It failed with the error you noticed. In a Windows Mobile 5.0 device with .NETCF 2.0 all is OK!

But on the other hand when I compile ziptest1.sbp on a desktop computer and copy ziptest1.exe (don't forget it is also a .NETCF 1.0 app like b4ppc) to the previous hardreseted device, it is working fine!

You can download from the following link compiled EXEs for desktop and device.

I don't know why is this happening. Maybe Erel can help.

Hi dzt,
Thanks for shedding light on this. I was totally confused. Now I know why my first attempt at a "Hello World" library I wrote in Visual Studio 2005 would not load in Basic4ppc. This has been a great learning experience for me thanks to guys like you.

Hello DZT,

I don't know it it would be possible, but i'll try....

It would be great if the ZipFile(arr(),zipName) function would add the arr() file names to the zipName instead of creating a new one. It would be great to have

ZipFile(arr(),zipName,bool)

where

bool=True --> add the file array to the existent .ZIP (if the zip does not exist, creates a new one)
bool=False --> creates/overwrite the .ZIP

Thanks

Hi, I am new in the forum, thanks for all good work that is found on the forum.

Regardig ZIP file : The examples works fine however i get errors adding files with .dat extentions (some works and some gives error). Looking into the links to the DLL library there are a large number of unresolved issued, have anyone used an alternative library making ZIP files ?
