Yup. After half a second's Googling:

Sorry - I dont know why I didn't see it. I get the following error: Could not add reference to assembly ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib – ManInMoon Sep 17 '10 at 11:44

That's a completely different question from the one you asked... please edit your original question with as much information as possible, including the precise problem and steps you did before it happened. – Rushyo Sep 17 '10 at 11:50

I copied the code from the link you suggested above. I then ran it and got the error above. – ManInMoon Sep 17 '10 at 12:16

Ah I see. Sorry, I hadn't realised you'd compiled it. It's after a reference to a particular library available here: http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sharpziplib/ – Rushyo Sep 17 '10 at 12:22

Thank you. I see a lot of this to "downlaod" they just never tell you where you are supposed to put it - could you give me a clue please? – ManInMoon Sep 17 '10 at 12:41

No problem. The reason is you can place it anywhere. Your project directory is often ideal. I actually keep my gzip lib on the root of C (not recommended). In Visual Studio you can right-click your project and go to 'Add Reference'. Look under 'Browse' and select the file from there. The error should go away. HTH. Lemme know if it doesn't. – Rushyo Sep 17 '10 at 12:48

No, but you can drop in gzip.py from Python and use IronPython.Zlib. Some instructions are available on your other question.
