Can't find ExtractToDirectory in c#

Question

I am trying to extract a zip file in C#. I have included using System.IO.Compression; but when I enter System.IO.Compression. the only methods i see are CompressionLevel, CompressionMode, DeflateStream, and GzipStream. ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory is not available. Is it deprecated?

Answer 1

Make sure you have a reference to System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.

Using VS2015 and creating a console app does not add this by default.
