How do I generate and send a .zip file to a user in C# ASP.NET?

Question

I need to construct and send a zip to a user.

I\'ve seen examples doing one or the other, but not both, and am curious if there are any \'best practices\' or anythin

Answer 1

I'm sure others will recommend SharpZipLib

How do you intend to "send" it. .NET has built in Libraries for email via SMTP

EDIT

In that case you'll want to capture the output stream from SharpZipLib and write it directly to the Response. Just make sure you have the correct Mimetype set in the Response Headers (application/zip) and make sure you don't Response.Write anything else to the user.
