C#

{{region kb-archive-a-list-of-files1}} List fileNames = new List();

fileNames.Add("text.txt");
fileNames.Add("text1.txt");
fileNames.Add("text2.txt");

string zipFileName = "Result.zip";

using (Stream stream = File.Open(zipFileName, FileMode.Create))
{
    using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(stream, ZipArchiveMode.Create, leaveOpen: true, entryNameEncoding: null))
    {
        foreach (var file in fileNames)
        {
            using (ZipArchiveEntry entry = archive.CreateEntry(file))
            {
                var entryStream = entry.Open();
                FileStream fs = new FileStream(file, FileMode.Open);
                fs.CopyTo(entryStream);
                entryStream.Flush();

                fs.Close();
                fs.Dispose();
            }
