I asked this a few months ago, and only received one response which didn't work. I've been tinkering with it for the past few weeks, and I'm still completely lost, so I would appreciate anyone else's input as I'm all out of ideas. what I'm trying to do is add a list of folders and files all to the root of my Zip file, using the Ionic Zip library (c#). Here's what I have so far string k = "B:/My Documents/Workspace"; private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile()) { //add directory, give it a name zip.AddDirectory(k); zip.Save("t.zip"); } } Now, I want my zip to be looking like this. t.zip -Random Files and Folder But it's looking like this. t.zip -t (folder) -Random files and folders Any help would be appreciated, Thank you.
