    Theres very little need to go to the Win32 API as the BCL with 9800 managed classes is so feature rich that you can do virtually everything in managed code. That being said, I am not aware of any zip/unzip classes off the top of my head. If you must go to the Windows API, you use Platform Invoke (P/Invoke) a topic too complex for this topic. Search MSDN on P/Invoke.

    Look for a library called SharpZip on the web. It is a very good tool for decompressing files and it has a .Net API.

    The site you're talking about is probably this one: http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SharpZipLib/Default.aspx.
