    Hey Guys,

     

    Been wondering for quite some time about automatic compression. I've fiddled around with some custom classes and such, but surely you can access the "Send to" menu programmatically? I just can't find any information on compression, and being as it's an XP tool i figured it would be catered for within VS!

     

    Any responce would be great,

     

    Thanks,

    Why would VS cater to something that is only available in XP? The .NET framework itself runs on 98 and up...

     

    However take a look at the io.compression namespace, as it has a GZipStream class for compressing data....

    There is also another built into the .NET framework in the J# library, but the J# has a seperate redist file from the framework you would have to distribute if you used that.
