Am I right in thinking that silverlight is a subset of the normal .net languages (with some additions for specific purposes I presume), and so I should be able to use the Zip Library in a normal Desktop (WPF) application?
Many thanks,

Hello Anthony,
To the best of my knowledge, you would not be able to use it under other environments. It is compiled against the Silverlight runtime and you would not be able to use it under other environments.
Hello,
Is it possible to compile it for the standard .net runtimes? All we have available as standard is ZipPackage, which requires the Mimetypes.xml in the archive order to open a file.
If the code can be recompiled with minimal changes I feel that it would be a valuable addition to the Desktop Client suite.
EDIT: I've just noticed that you've embedded dotnetzip, which is a desktop library, so any chance of a desktop build of this?
