is it possible without sharpziplib. – Niraj Choubey Jul 03 '10 at 07:39
@Niraj Choubey: yes, with some other ZIP library (like http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/) ..... or you have to re-create the whole ZIP code yourself just to peek inside the ZIP file.... – marc_s Jul 03 '10 at 07:55
maybe the `System.IO` will support ZIP archives natively in a future version of the .NET framework - see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bclteam/archive/2010/06/28/working-with-zip-files-in-net.aspx – marc_s Jul 04 '10 at 07:19

There is a simple way to do this with sharpziplib :

        using (var zipFile = new ZipFile(@"C:\Test.zip"))
        {
            foreach (ZipEntry entry in zipFile)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(entry.Name);
            }
        }
