Cannot find System.IO.Compression.ZipFile

[vamsikrish28 (Vamsi Krishna)]

Hi, I want to extract the files to a specific folder from a zip file. I am trying to use Invoke method activity and in TargetType I cannot find System.IO.Compression.ZipFile type. Can someone help?

Please refer to attached screenshot!!

Thanks in advance!!

Kindly have a view on this discussion

Compress files to .zip format

Good tip. Works for me without Invokemethod as the Retrun type is “ZipArchiveEntry”, but unable to open the Zip file.Am i missing something? [image] Compress.xaml (9.2 KB)

Cheers @vamsikrish28

If you follow the steps in post 5 and 36 of the link that @Palaniyappan referred to, you will find that there are two System.IO.Compression sections which could be confusing. Be sure to check if you see the lower one.

UiPath also has an unzip feature, depending on which version of the UiPath.System.Activities dependency you use.

ZipFile function

@fightblue open XAML in an editor (e.g. notepad++) and add: System.IO.Compression.FileSystem [grafik] as the methods are subroutines and not functions you will use invoke method [grafik]
