What is the simplest way to read a ZIP/CAB archive from a .NET 2.0 application?
I don't need to create new archives, just to read existing ones.

Hello,

I believe, the standard for this is still
http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/.

.NET 2.0 has some compression features, but no full ZIP support.

As for CAB files, you'll have to stick to Win32 interop do manipulate
those...

Best regards,
Henning Krause
