Regarding extracting file

[varunk]

Hi @All,

How can we unzip a file?

[Ashish32229]

Hi,

You need to use navigation like right click on zip file --> select extract all --> enter the path --> extract…

Hi @Ashish32229,
Refer this post.

Unzip Files using invoke method

Yeah, yeah, it worked. Thank you @badita and @andrzej.kniola… to have you both helping me with this was like having two golden globe nominees on the stage… @andrzej.kniola… so you are sayin’ that is better to use this custom activity or to create something more like the unzip activity with VB, and nupackage and all that kind of stuff? Here is the .XAML for everyone’s usage. unzip.xaml (5.8 KB)

HI @irahmat,

why am I not able to find that variable type?

I think you don’t have latest version of .NET Framework.

You need to add a reference, “System.IO.Compression” - and ensure you are using .NET 4.5 (since it doesn’t exist in earlier frameworks).

For this system.io.compression.zipfile you need to update your .net Framework to get this namespace.
