Answer 1

what's the error you see? Exception? Other condition? You need to add some additional context to your question. But there are a couple things that stick out even without a better description.

1. employ a using() clause with the ZipFile class; it is IDisposable.

2. It looks like you try to extract the zip file before you call .SaveAs(). If I read your code correctly, that means the ZipFile.Read() is trying to read a file that has not yet been created. If that is the case it will throw a FileNotFoundException. I may be wrong about this; more text from you would help clarify.
