Create zip file of part of folder

Question

Hello,

I need to create a zip file from a folder. I found the code for that and I noticed that it creates the file for all the directories in the folder. My question is if it's possible to create the zip file for only selected directories in the folder??
(for exmple if the folder contains 4 images and 2 text files, the zip file will inclued only 3 of the images and 1 text file, that I will select manually from the code)

Answer 1

For example :

using (ZipArchive newZip = ZipFile.Open(@"E:\testzip.zip", ZipArchiveMode.Create))
{
    newZip.CreateEntryFromFile(@"E:\file1.txt", "file1.txt", CompressionLevel.Fastest);
    newZip.CreateEntryFromFile(@"E:\file2.txt", "file2.txt", CompressionLevel.Fastest);
    // ...
}

For example :

using (ZipArchive newZip = ZipFile.Open(@"E:\testzip.zip", ZipArchiveMode.Create))
{
    newZip.CreateEntryFromFile(@"E:\file1.txt", "file1.txt", CompressionLevel.Fastest);
    newZip.CreateEntryFromFile(@"E:\file2.txt", "file2.txt", CompressionLevel.Fastest);
    // ...
}

Does it also create the "testzip.zip" file or it should be created manually at first?

It works well with files for me, but when I try to add a folder it doesnt work...
How should it be done with folders?

There are workarounds, like CreateEntryFromFolder (not tested)
