Hello,

 First, using the link below, read about the compress/extract process.

 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/io/how-to-compress-and-extract-files

 Second, using the link below, review and test build examples of project code.

 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.compression.ziparchive?view=netframework-4.8

 The above links should guide and provide everything you need to get your

project started. If you have problems then post a thread here with specifics.

 Hope this helps :)

Hi PhanNam，

Thank you for posting here.

You can use 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib' to compress and decompress file.

Download the latest version:

See the following links for sample codes:

Please note the limit of size when subsection compression:

Hope this helps.
