ASP.NET Download All Files as Zip

Question

I have a folder on my web server that has hundreds of mp3 files in it. I would like to provide the option for a user to download a zipped archive of every mp3 in the directo

Answer 1

Here is code I use to do this with DotNetZip - works very well. Obviously you will need to provide the variables for outputFileName, folderName, and includeSubFolders.

response.ContentType = "application/zip";
response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + outputFileName);
using (ZipFile zipfile = new ZipFile()) {
  zipfile.AddSelectedFiles("*.*", folderName, includeSubFolders);
  zipfile.Save(response.OutputStream);
}
