hello...

I got an error message: "Access to the path "C:\ziptest.zip" is denied."

In this part of my code....

Dim s As ZipOutputStream = New ZipOutputStream(File.Create("C:\ziptest.zip"))

 Why is that happening? What should i do to resolve this problem?

Hi,

I was going to say the something different but I notice that the path you use is "C:\ziptest.zip" you might want to try "C:\\ziptest.zip" or @"C:\Ziptest.zip" and read the help about escape characters.  I suspect that might have something to do with it.

hth, -jr-

You don't have to escape \ in VB.

The code looks correct, so maybe you simply don't have write permissons in C:\ or the file already exists and is in use by another process?

No the file is not existing....so how will i check if i am permitted to write in C:\ ? If i dont have a write permission, how will i allow myself to have a write permission?
