extract 7zip file in csharp

To extract a 7zip file in C#, we can use the SevenZipSharp library. Here's how to do it:

1. Install the SevenZipSharp library using NuGet.

2. Add the following using statement in your code:

main.cs
using SevenZip;
16 chars
2 lines

3. Write the code to extract the 7zip file. Here's an example:

main.cs
string zipFilePath = @"path\to\your\file.7z";
string extractPath = @"path\to\extract\files";

SevenZipExtractor.SetLibraryPath(@"path\to\7z.dll");

using (var extractor = new SevenZipExtractor(zipFilePath))
{
    extractor.ExtractArchive(extractPath);
}
254 chars
10 lines

In the code above, we pass the path of the 7zip file and the directory where the extracted files will be saved to the SevenZipExtractor constructor. Then, we call the ExtractArchive method to perform the extraction.

Note that we need to set the path to the 7z.dll file using the SetLibraryPath method before using the SevenZipExtractor class. This is required for the library to work properly.

Also, make sure to add error handling and dispose the SevenZipExtractor object after use.
