Downloading multiple files from a Datagrid with #ziplib with VB.NET

I have a problem and all the parts to fix it.

I have a datagrid on my page that gets all of its information from a MS
SQL Server 2000 Database. I do not have the option to go to VS.NET
2005 or ASP.NET 2.0 yet as my host is not that at that stage yet. I
have PDF files that I want to download but I want to do something
similar to what google does and have a checkbox in front of each box
and have the application zip them into one file and download them upon
the click of a download button. This all is going into a DotNetNuke
Module.

I have built the DotNetNuke Module and I have the SQL Stored Procedures
built and I have found #ziplib which will handle the file compression.
I figure I can code the usage of this library into the event handler of
the download button, but the #ziplib is mainly written in C# and I am
not all that handy with C# yet. There are some samples with the
source, but nothing really that I have found use of. I have found an
example on www.codeproject that does exactly what I need but once again
in C#. Has anyone used this library in VB.NET or has anyone seen an
example using this library? Any help would be excellent. Its the
missing link for me and the first time I have tried file compression
components with an ASP.NET application.

Thanks,
MIchael
