DotNetZip trouble with russian encoding

Question

i use DotNetZip in my project.

using (var zip = new ZipFile()) 
{ 
   zip.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(866); 
   zip.AddFile(filename, "directory\\in\\archive"); 
   zip.Save("archive.zip"); 
}

all ok but when i use method AddDirectoryByName i have a bad directory names.

What do you mean by "bad name"? Can you post a specific example? — Cheeso, Nov 08 '10 at 02:55
I've tried it with the newest DotNetZip version and do not get an exception: `using (var zip = new ZipFile()) { zip.AlternateEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(866); zip.AddDirectoryByName("Россия"); zip.Save("archive.zip"); }` — Martin Buberl, Dec 19 '11 at 21:17

Universal way for all is :

zip.AlternateEncoding = Encoding.UTF8;
zip.ProvisionalAlternateEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(Console.OutputEncoding.CodePage);
zip.AlternateEncodingUsage = ZipOption.AsNecessary;

This way in new version work for me

zip.AlternateEncodingUsage = ZipOption.Always;
zip.AlternateEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(866);

You may Peek Definition first. Then you will find this:

public ZipFile(Encoding encoding);

So you can use this:

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile(Encoding.UTF8))
