I know this question is ancient, but search engines redirect here for how to extract gzip in C#, so I thought I'd provide a slightly more recent example:

using (var inputFileStream = new FileStream("c:\\myfile.xml.gz", FileMode.Open))
using (var gzipStream = new GZipStream(inputFileStream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
using (var outputFileStream = new FileStream("c:\\myfile.xml", FileMode.Create))
{
    await gzipStream.CopyToAsync(outputFileStream);
}

For what should be the simpler question of how to untar see: Decompress tar files using C#
