I am new to vb .net. I have a good knowledge of vbscript but am just starting in vb .net. I have install visual studio express but don't know where to start. I have a vbscript that does the following but I want to do it in vb .net and was hoping someone could post some sample code to get me started. The script does the following.

Monitors 2 folders specified in a config file.
When a zip file is put in the one of the folders it us automatically unzipped to a working folder and then the zip file is renamed to unzipped-<zip>.zip.

I am hoping someone could post a visual studio project or code that might help me get started. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Goz

Also WinZip has a command line version that can be used. You just need to send the proper commands to zip & unzip the file but would require whatever user to also have this same version installed.

This one's free: .NET Zip Library #ziplib (SharpZipLib)

Monitor with FileSystemWatcher Class (System.IO) or check periodically with a Timer.
