using Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Cab;
 
//create a instance of Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.Cab.CabInfo
//which provides file-based operations on the cabinet file
CabInfo cab = new CabInfo(@"C:\Cabinet1.cab");
 
//create a list with files and add them to a cab file
List<string> filesToArchive = new List<string>() { @"C:\file1", @"C:\file2" };
cab.PackFiles(null, filesToArchive, null);
       
 
//add a folder (including subdirectories) to another cab file with a maximum compression level
cab = new CabInfo(@"C:\Cabinet2.cab");
cab.Pack(@"C:\folder", true, Microsoft.Deployment.Compression.CompressionLevel.Max, null);
 
//unpack a cab file into C:\Unpacked folder
cab.Unpack(@"C:\Unpacked");

Step 1 :download attached DLL with post --> CabLib.zip
 
Step 2 :Add Reference to that DLL and Add namespace at top
 
Compression
-------------
 
CabLib.Compress i_Compress = new CabLib.Compress();
i_Compress.SwitchCompression(eCompress.LZX);
i_Compress.CompressFolder(@"C:\Web", @"C:\Temp\Packed.cab", "*.htm", true, true, 0);
