Dear sirs
after some googling i found some code to using unrar.dll, but i get runtime error
System.NullReferenceException  in line iStatus=RARReadHeader(lHandle, ref uHeader);
hear is the code

using System;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

        }
    }
}

and also if we copy unrar.dll to local directory not system32 is that work?
I will appreciate to your oponions.
