Default 7zip compression

VB.NET 2003 or 2005 application program.

i was trying to create an application program to compress some files using 7zip. when application program runs, need to browse and select the files need to be compressed and mention the name of the zip file and compress the file in that folder.

i google for some help. i'm getting examples only in C#.

Anyone know whether i can do this in VB.NET? if so, can you please help me and if possible can you please give an example?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there..

What problem do you have translating it from c# to vb.net?? usually, you can do it straightforward. Didn't any of the on-line translator helps?

Well, you call them the exact same way you do it in vb.net.

You need an example of what exactly?

Sorry, I never use that classes so I don't know what function or class you should call... Maybe there is a guide that you can check?

If you have this SDK already working why use another?

Maybe you will have to check the files for info, and also play with them a little? Did you see if the class has documentation inside them?
