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

I can't believe how easy this was. After reading this, here is the code that I used:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Clear();
    Response.BufferOutput = false;
    Response.ContentType = "application/zip";
    Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=pauls_chapel_audio.zip");

    using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
    {
        zip.CompressionLevel = CompressionLevel.None;
        zip.AddSelectedFiles("*.mp3", Server.MapPath("~/content/audio/"), "", false);
        zip.Save(Response.OutputStream);
    }

    Response.Close();
}
