zip and send solution folder by mail

[rom]

i know it's not exactly the place to post this question
but i didn't find a betrer group. when i send a zipped
folder with an asp.net application i cant use it on the
destination computer. when i open the solution i cant see
the vb.net files. they appear with a yellow ! sign on them.

Have you zipped up and sent the entire solution? Do the files fall
into the right directories if you look at where you unzipped the
solution in explorer?

i did zip the entire solution BUT when i open the folder
now i cant see the all the *.vb files........

What application are you using to compress the files into an archive? Also,
do you see the *.vb files inside the zip file on the original computer?

UNBELIEVABLE! i just can't find these files. he is what i
do:
1. right click on the folder (that holds all the asp.net
application files) and add to archive. select zip and zip
it!
2. send this zip file by mail to another computer.
3. open the zip on the other computer and all the *.vb
files are missing!!!!
4. open the zip file from the computer that sent it, and
the *.vb files are here!
when i send the zip file it's size is 36kb. when i receive
it on the second computer it's only 24kb.....where are my
missing 12kb????

That's odd - I've heard of virus protection software blocking content
it considers dangerous - but never rmoving content without telling the
recepient. The .vb extension is close to .vbs, which is considered
dangerous. Perhaps the archive is meeting a really zealous filter
along the way?

Interestingly enough I tried to send a .vb file with my gmail account,
and it won't let me.

I'd strongly suspect an email filter somewhere at the source or
destination ISP or corporation. Although flat out removing files from
a zip archive without a message is evil.
