Creating a Rounded Form

Here's how you can create a Windows Form with rounded corners using P/Invoke in C#:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        [DllImport("Gdi32.dll", EntryPoint = "CreateRoundRectRgn")]
        private static extern IntPtr CreateRoundRectRgn
        (
            int nLeftRect,     // x-coordinate of upper-left corner
            int nTopRect,      // y-coordinate of upper-left corner
            int nRightRect,    // x-coordinate of lower-right corner
            int nBottomRect,   // y-coordinate of lower-right corner
            int nWidthEllipse, // width of ellipse
            int nHeightEllipse // height of ellipse
        );

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.FormBorderStyle = FormBorderStyle.None;
            Region = System.Drawing.Region.FromHrgn(CreateRoundRectRgn(0, 0, Width, Height, 20, 20));
        }
    }
}

Working with ZIP Archives

This snippet demonstrates how to create and extract ZIP files using the System.IO.Compression namespace:

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
      string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
      string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
      string extractPath = @"c:\example\extract";

      System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
      System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
    }
  }
}
