I am trying to extract .rar file using .net zip library (Ionic.Zip.dll). I got error "cannot read that as a zipfile" while executing following code;
using (ZipFile zip1 = ZipFile.Read("E:\\APPS\\package.rar")){
}
I know the error is self explanatory but documentation of Ionic.Zip says that it can be used to extract .rar files. Any ideas?
Well, I not found anywhere in description that DotNetZip
can extract rar
files. He can extract zip
created with WinRAR
but nowhere notice rar
file can be extracted.
DotNetZip - Zip and Unzip in C#, VB, any .NET language
But, there is something interesting (link bellow) :
SharpCompress - a fully native C# library for RAR, 7Zip, Zip, Tar, GZip, BZip2
