Routine for compressing folders in Visual studio

I am trying to write a routine that compre开发者_如何学JAVAss folder/multiple files for Embedded applications in Visual studio.For that I thought of using combination of zlib and tar.I could successfully run the zlib in visual studio but in case of tar the source code refers to some linux headers and results in error.I am a newbie in this area.Could any one tell me how to create the routine.I found a UnxUtils (sourceforge, GNU utilities for Win32 http://unxutils.sourceforge.net.) while browsing,Is that useful? Any help is appreciated.

You might also look at DotNetZip library, as it may work in your situation.

Is this thing supported on Mono/Linux? It's not supported at all. But, it apparently works on Mono/Ubuntu. I don't test it that way. If you'd like to volunteer, let me know.
