// Example showing the utility of

// Given an input and output directory, zip the input directory
// and drop it into the output directory. The zip file should
// have the same name as the input directory (plus .zip extension)

var dirToZip = new PureNtPath(@"C:\Users\Admin\MyPhotos");

// These work too, paths are normalized when created from strings! 
//var dirToZip = new PureNtPath(@"C:\Users\Admin\MyPhotos\");
//var dirToZip = new PureNtPath(@"C:/Users/Admin/MyPhotos");
//var dirToZip = new PureNtPath(@"C:\Users/Admin\MyPhotos/");


var outputDir = new PureNtPath(@"G:\Archive");

var zipFilename = dirToZip.WithExtension("zip").Filename;
var outputPath = outputDir.Join(zipFilename);  // G:\Archive\MyPhotos.zip

var bytes = new ZipFile(dirToZip.ToString()).GetBytes();  // Handwaving. Pick your favorite Zip library.
File.WriteAllBytes(outputPath.ToString(), bytes);
