ZipTask overview

#### Public Instance Constructors

ZipTask Constructor | Initializes a new instance of the ZipTask class.

#### Public Instance Properties

Comment | The comment for the file.
DuplicateHandling | Specifies the behaviour when a duplicate file is found. The default is Add.
Encoding | The character encoding to use for filenames and comment inside the zip file. The default is the system's OEM code page.
FailOnError (inherited from Task) | Determines if task failure stops the build, or is just reported. The default is true.
Flatten | Ignore directory structure of source directory, compress all files into a single directory. The default value is false.
IfDefined (inherited from Task) | If true then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is true.
IncludeEmptyDirs | Include empty directories in the generated zip file. The default is false.
LogPrefix (inherited from Task) | Obsolete. The prefix used when sending messages to the log.
Name (inherited from Task) | The name of the task.
NamespaceManager (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XmlNamespaceManager.
Parent (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the parent of the element.
Project (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the Project to which this element belongs.
Properties (inherited from Element) | Gets the properties local to this Element and the Project.
Stamp | Date/time stamp for the files in the format MM/DD/YYYY HH:MM:SS.
Threshold (inherited from Task) | Gets or sets the log threshold for this Task. By default the threshold of a task is Debug, causing no messages to be filtered in the task itself.
UnlessDefined (inherited from Task) | Opposite of IfDefined. If false then the task will be executed; otherwise, skipped. The default is false.
Verbose (inherited from Task) | Determines whether the task should report detailed build log messages. The default is false.
ZipFile | The zip file to create.
ZipFileSets | The set of files to be included in the archive.
ZipLevel | Desired level of compression. Possible values are 0 (STORE only) to 9 (highest). The default is `6`.

#### Public Instance Methods

Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object.
Execute (inherited from Task) | Executes the task unless it is skipped.
GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type.
GetLocation (inherited from Element) | Retrieves the location in the build file where the element is defined.
GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance.
Initialize (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Performs default initialization.
InitializeTaskConfiguration (inherited from Task) | Initializes the configuration of the task using configuration settings retrieved from the NAnt configuration file.
IsLogEnabledFor (inherited from Task) | Determines whether build output is enabled for the given Level.
Log (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Logs a message with the given priority.
ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object.

#### Protected Instance Properties

CustomXmlProcessing (inherited from Element) | Gets a value indicating whether the element is performing additional processing using the XmlNode that was used to initialize the element.
Location (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the location in the build file where the element is defined.
XmlNode (inherited from Element) | Gets or sets the XML node of the element.

#### Protected Instance Methods

CopyTo (inherited from Element) | Copies all instance data of the Element to a given Element.
ExecuteTask | Creates the zip file.
Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection.
GetAttributeConfigurationNode (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Locates the XML node for the specified attribute in either the configuration section of the extension assembly or the.project.
GetAttributeConfigurationNode (inherited from Element) | Overloaded. Locates the XML node for the specified attribute in the project configuration node.
Initialize (inherited from Task) | Overloaded. Initializes the task.
InitializeElement (inherited from Element) | Obsolete. Derived classes should override to this method to provide extra initialization and validation not covered by the base class.
InitializeTask (inherited from Task) | Obsolete. Initializes the task.
InitializeXml (inherited from Element) | Initializes all build attributes and child elements.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
