I need to unzip a .zip file in a vb.net app and then zip up some other files.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to get started? Does vb.net have
something built in or so I need a component or something? Thanks.

.NET doesn't (although it will in 2.0). However, there's a library
called SharpZipLib you can use:
