SharpLibZip: Add file without path

Question

I\'m using the following code, using the SharpZipLib library, to add files to a .zip file, but each file is being stored with its full path. I need to only store the file, in t

My solution was to set the NameTransform object property of the ZipFile to a ZipNameTransform with its TrimPrefix set to the directory of the file. This causes the directory part of the entry names, which are full file paths, to be removed.

public static void ZipFolderContents(string folderPath, string zipFilePath)
{
    string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath);
    using (ZipFile zipFile = ZipFile.Create(zipFilePath))
    {
        zipFile.NameTransform = new ZipNameTransform(folderPath);
        foreach (string file in files)
        {
            zipFile.BeginUpdate();
            zipFile.Add(file);
            zipFile.CommitUpdate();
        }
    }
}

What's cool is the the NameTransform property is of type INameTransform, allowing customisation of the name transforms.
