I am a data processor currently using QuickBasic as the programming
language. We would like to change to .NET but I can find nothing on how to
use pkzip and pkunzip in Visual Basic .NET. Can it be done? Thanks in
advance!

How did you use them in QuickBasic? You can call the executable using
'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start'.
 
Dave,

Not sure precisely how you are currently using these apps. within your QB
code but vb.net has a command which will run windows applications. You can
add arguments directly from the properties window or within code, i.e.
Process1.Start("winzip.exe", "<filepath of zip file>")

Regards,

Dave,

I suppose you want to have the zip-functions encapsulated in your app, so I
suggest you to take a look at the visual basic resource kit; it comes with a
licence of ComponentOne which includes a zip-class providing the range of
functions you are looking for.
