Zip'ping files

Tonight I was using the ICSharpCode zip library to zip files for my Codewise implementation.  Basically, when users nominate to make a Relase visible to Codeshare, I create a manifest file and package it and the Release file into a Codewise package.

I ran the code which comes in the .chm file but, noticed that my .zip files wouldn't show any content when viewing them through the default Windows Zip File viewer.  I little bit of investigation led me to the FAQ site for the library which answered my question.  Basically, you cannot pass a fullpath to the ZipEntry class if you want it to be visible to Windows.  So, you just remove the path portion of the filename:

ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(Path.GetFileName(fullPath));
