Add DLL References

• System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll

C# Code

using System;
using System.IO.Compression;

namespace CreateZip
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Create Zip file
            ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(@"D:\Icons", @"D:\Icons.zip");
        }
    }
}

ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory will create the zip file from the directory. You need to pass the source directory path as a first parameter and the zip file name with the path as a second parameter.
