1	# DevExpress Zip Compression and Archive API
2
3	The Zip Compression and Archive API is a non-visual .NET library for creating, reading, and extracting ZIP archives programmatically — without any external dependencies. It supports archiving files, directories, streams, byte arrays, and text; password-protecting entries with AES-256 or ZipCrypto; filtering content during archiving; cancellation via progress callbacks; and conflict resolution during extraction.
4
5	## When to Use This Skill
6
7	Use this skill when you need to:
8
9	- Create a ZIP archive from a directory (recursively) or from a list of files
10	- Add individual files to a new or existing ZIP archive
11	- Filter files during archiving using the `ItemAdding` event
12	- Archive a .NET `Stream` or a `byte[]` directly (without writing to disk first)
13	- Archive a text string as a named entry in a ZIP file
14	- Password-protect archive entries using AES-256 (`EncryptionType.Aes256`) or ZipCrypto (`EncryptionType.PkZip`)
15	- Add comments to individual archive entries
16	- Extract (unzip) an archive to a directory
17	- Resolve file conflicts during extraction with a callback (`AllowFileOverwrite` event)
18	- Cancel a long-running archiving operation via the `Progress` event
19	- Handle archiving errors without aborting the entire operation
20	- Add files to an existing archive without losing its current contents
21
22	## Prerequisites & Installation
23
24	### NuGet Packages
25
26	\| Package \| Purpose \|
27	\|---------\|---------\|
28	\| `DevExpress.Document.Processor` \| Core ZIP compression and archive functionality \|
29
30	### .NET (8/9/10+)
31
32	```bash
33	dotnet add package DevExpress.Document.Processor
34	```
35
36	### .NET Framework (4.6.2+)
37
38	```
39	Install-Package DevExpress.Document.Processor
40	```
41
42	Or add a reference to `DevExpress.Docs.v26.1.dll` directly.
43
44	Important: All DevExpress packages in a project must share the same version number. A valid DevExpress license is required.
45
46	### Package Versions
47
48	Unless the user explicitly requests a specific version, always target the latest DevExpress release (v26.1 at the time of writing). `dotnet add package <PackageName>` without `--version` installs the latest stable version — prefer this form. Never pin an older version in project files, Dockerfiles, or CI/CD pipelines unless the user asks for it. This is especially important in integration scenarios (Docker, cloud deployments). All `DevExpress.*` packages in a project must share the same version.
49
50	## Before You Start — Ask the Developer
51
52	If the host agent has a structured question-asking tool available, use it to ask these questions one at a time with clear options — for example, Claude Code's `AskUserQuestion` tool or GitHub Copilot's `askQuestions` tool. If no such tool is available, ask the questions directly in the chat response before generating code.
53
54	Before generating code, ask these questions to avoid rework:
55
56	### General Questions
57	1. Target framework: Are you using .NET 8+ or .NET Framework 4.x?
58	2. New or existing project?: Creating new or adding to existing?
59	3. Hosting model: Console app, ASP.NET Core, Blazor, MAUI, or something else?
60
61	### Zip-Specific Questions
62	4. Operation? Create archive / extract archive / compress stream or byte array / add to existing archive
63	5. Source? Directory / specific files with filtering / in-memory stream or byte array
64	6. Special requirements? Password protection / file conflict resolution / cancellation / comments
65
66	> Rule: If the developer's answer is ambiguous or missing, ask before generating code. Do not guess.
67
68	## Component Overview
69
70	The Zip Compression and Archive API provides:
71
72	- Archive creation: Create ZIP archives from directories, file lists, streams, byte arrays, or text (`ZipArchive`, `ZipFileItem`, `ZipDirectoryItem`, `ZipStreamItem`, `ZipByteArrayItem`, `ZipTextItem`)
73	- Archive reading and extraction: Open existing ZIP files and extract items to disk (`ZipArchive.Read()`, `ZipItem.Extract()`)
74	- Password protection: Encrypt entries with AES-256 or ZipCrypto (`ZipArchive.Password`, `ZipArchive.EncryptionType`, `EncryptionType`)
75	- Event-driven control: Filter items, track progress, resolve conflicts, handle errors (`ItemAdding`, `Progress`, `AllowFileOverwrite`, `Error` events)
