Using System.IO.Compression.GZipStream to zip multiple files

[Nathan Sokalski]

I have an application in which I need to allow users to download multiple
files at once. All the sites I could find on the web when looking for help
suggested creating a zip file, and letting the users download that. This
would be fine, except for the fact that not all users will be downloading
the same files. I eventually found the System.IO.Compression.GZipStream
class, and have been trying to figure out how to zip multiple files into one
file. Can anybody help me here? Thanks.

The Framework GZipStream class does not support the File headers and
infrastructure necessary to build a multi-file "real" zip file. Use
ICsharpCode.SharpZiplib instead. It does, and it even supports zip passwords.
