Question

I am trying to save a XAP file witch is basically like a zip file, and i can Archive and save it, but it adds to many folders?

I am using Ionic.Zip DLL to Archive my XAP file.

The file saves to my path, but when i open it up it has the folder users, then in there it has the folder Shaun, and in that folder a folder Documents, in the the folder FormValue then in side there it has my 3 files i zipped.

I need the Xap file only to contain the 3 files i zipped and not all the extra folders inside.

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
// add this map to zip
zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//" + property_details_locality_map); 
zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//data.xml");
zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//dvform.dvform"); 
zip.Save("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//NewValuation.xap");
}

Use the zip.AddFile(string fileName, string directoryPathInArchive) overload and specify the empty string "" for the second parameter:

zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//" + property_details_locality_map, ""); 
zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//data.xml", "");
zip.AddFile("C://Users//Shaun//Documents//FormValue//dvform.dvform", ""); 

From the documentation:

/// <param name="directoryPathInArchive">
///   Specifies a directory path to use to override any path in the fileName.
///   This path may, or may not, correspond to a real directory in the current
///   filesystem.  If the files within the zip are later extracted, this is the
///   path used for the extracted file.  Passing <c>null</c> (<c>Nothing</c> in
///   VB) will use the path on the fileName, if any.  Passing the empty string
///   ("") will insert the item at the root path within the archive.
/// </param>
