    Never done it myself but a quick googling and StackOverflowing shows you should be able to use the libraries System.IO.Compression.Filesystem and System.IO.Compression, which have a ZipFile class. You might have to reference the necessary DLLs in the rule properties though.

Dim ZipFileName As String = "test.zip"

Dim folderLocation  As String = FileShareFolderHelper.GetDataManagementExportUsernameFolderForApp(si, True, configSettings.FileShareRootFolder, si.AppName)

Dim ZipFilePath As String = folderLocation & "\" & ZipFileName

XFZip.Zip(ZipFilePath, folderLocation)​

 

ZipFile is not working for me. I am working on OneStream on cloud. I think they do not have this library. But I found that they use their own method to zip files.

This is the poorest documentation I have seen ever. I spent hours to find this.

    Hey Jarek, I'm sorry you had to suffer through this - we know documentation coverage is not where we'd like them to be, which is partially why this forum exists. Generally speaking, for anything related to "how do I do this thing in Cloud", feel free to chat with Support - chances are someone else had your problems before, and they are happy to make the necessary tweaks. As you can imagine, for security purposes, in Cloud a lot of stuff is not available until you tell us that you really really need it. This is probably one of them.
