What is an alternate of ionic zip in C#?

Question

I use Ionic.Zip to zip and unzip my data. But I find that Ionic.Zip is not capable of handling large file sizes (> 3GB).

So is there any third party tool that we can use to replace Ionic.Zip?

Answer 1

If you can use .NET Framework 4.5+, ZipArchive is now part of the BCL, as described by the "What's New in the .NET 4.5 Base Class Library" article.

Also, IMHO the 'de facto' third-party library for this is SharpZipLib from the SharpDevelop team.

Answer 2

It can actually handle larger files.

For that you need to use property:

UseZip64WhenSaving = Zip64Option.Always
