    I'm writing a tool to compress evtx files and I'm trying to decide between makecab.exe and trying to use the system's built in compression.  When I look at the posting here:

    It looks like there are some issues with shell.application and I'm lost with the various [System.IO.whatever] classes.  Does anyone have a tool that creates zip/cab files just using a built in class?  I am aware of how to use makecab.exe and it works pretty well, I was really hoping for something that didn't need an outside .exe
