The task-based help section offers a wide variety of topics that tell you everything you need to know in order to work with Xceed's Zip/compression and FTP capabilities. However, it often helps to just be able to open up a real project and check out how things work with a ready-to-use sample.
Xceed has provided various sample applications in both VB.NET and C# (see table below).
Xceed also offers an application called FileSystem Snippet Explorer. This tool lets you interactively see and execute the code you need to use to accomplish dozens of FileSystem-based tasks, using the Zip, Tar/GZip and FTP capabilities of Xceed's products.
