downloading multiple files from the server

[manjitsarma]

I want to create a functionality for downloading multiple files from the server. User can check multiple files and then when he selects download button it should download all the selected files automatically.

Please help me in this regard....

Thanks

This sounds straight forward. Where are you having trouble?

Zip them and then send them?

Here's a good library for doing just that.

Is that any better then using the zip methods built into .net (System.IO.Comp ression namespace) already?

It is much easier, AFAIK. I've never used the built in methods, but I have used this, and it can be almost as simple as using an array.

Something I read that made me want to try it:

The .NET Framework has GzipStream and DeflateStream classes for compression tasks, but they do not support the standard ZIP file / folder FileEntry mechanism to zip a folder with all its files and subfolders.

Fortunately, the ICSharpCode SharpZipLib project does support this, as well as passwords for zip files and compression level.

Also, it's open source, so that's a plus.
