namespace Cupofdev
{
using System;
using System.IO;
using SevenZip;
class Cupofdev
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{ // Set source and target folders
string targetFolder = @"E:\CodeDumps";
string sourceCodeFolder = @"C:\Dev\Clients\cupofdev";
if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(targetFolder))
{
// Specify where 7z.dll DLL is located
SevenZipCompressor.SetLibraryPath(@"C:\Program Files\7 - Zip\7z.dll");
SevenZipCompressor sevenZipCompressor = new SevenZipCompressor();
sevenZipCompressor.CompressionLevel = SevenZip.CompressionLevel.Ultra;
sevenZipCompressor.CompressionMethod = CompressionMethod.Lzma;
// Compress the directory and save the file in a yyyyMMdd_project-files.7z format (eg. 20141024_project-files.7z
sevenZipCompressor.CompressDirectory(sourceCodeFolder, Path.Combine(targetFolder, string.Concat(DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyyMMdd"), "_project-files.7z")));
}
}
}
