Hey use this code below , you must have 7zip application in your system .

  public void ExtractFile(string source, string destination)
    {
        string zPath = @"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe";// change the path and give yours 
        try
        {
            ProcessStartInfo pro = new ProcessStartInfo();
            pro.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
            pro.FileName = zPath;
            pro.Arguments = "x \"" + source + "\" -o" + destination;
            Process x = Process.Start(pro);
            x.WaitForExit();
        }
        catch (System.Exception Ex) {
          //DO logic here 
          }
    }

to create :

public void CreateZip()
{
    string sourceName = @"d:\a\example.txt";
    string targetName = @"d:\a\123.zip";
    ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo();
    p.FileName = @"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe";
    p.Arguments = "a -tgzip \"" + targetName + "\" \"" + sourceName + "\" -mx=9";
    p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
    Process x = Process.Start(p);
    x.WaitForExit();
}
