This functionality is available out of the box in .Net Framework 4.5 and later. You have to use this library:

using System.IO.Compression;

And then you'll be able to do this:

string zipPath = @"c:\example\start.zip";
using (ZipArchive archive = ZipFile.OpenRead(zipPath))
{
    foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
    {
        if (entry.FullName.EndsWith('\'))
            Console.WriteLine($"{entry.FullName} is a directory.");
        else
            Console.WriteLine($"{entry.FullName} is a file.");
    }
}

That is obvious man! I am looking for a way to differentiate a directory from a file. – Amir Jul 14 '18 at 07:13
If the entry name ends with character '/', it means it's a directory. Otherwise, it's a file. By the way, thank you for the vote down! – Sepehr Samiei Jul 14 '18 at 07:28
