Hi

I'm using ZipEntry class in one of my asp.net applications(c# is code
behind). I'm able to successfully zip a file, but the date of the zipped file
is shown as 1/1/1980. I tried to ZipEntry.setTime(long), but it is also of
no use. How to get orignal file date/tiime for the zipped file. Please let me
know.

Thanks.

Hi,

> How to get orignal file date/tiime for the zipped file.

This is an old bug in the lib. I think it's fixed in the .NET 2.0 (Visual
Studio 2005) that will soon be released.

Here are a few alternatives:
