3So [the documentation](https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmzarchives) of the file format, as supplied by Google, wasn't of any help? – ProgrammingLlama Jan 20 '20 at 08:32

There even seem to be [NuGet packages](https://www.nuget.org/packages/ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Layers.Kml/10.5.0) that deal with Keyhole Markup Language. – ProgrammingLlama Jan 20 '20 at 08:35

According to the Wikipedia article, KMZ files are simple Xml files in a ZIP container.
You should be able to use the regular XmlWriter included in .NET's base class library to write the KML document, then wrap it in a ZIP file either with .NET's no-board methods or with a 3rd party library.
A reference for the Xml-based KML format is linked to in the Wikipedia article.
