Download: Chilkat .NET Assemblies

Chilkat.Gzip gzip = new Chilkat.Gzip();

bool success;

//  Any string unlocks the component for the 1st 30-days.
success = gzip.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(gzip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Ungzip and untar.
bool bNoAbsolute;
bNoAbsolute = true;
string untarToDirectory;
untarToDirectory = "c:/temp/test";
//  bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
//  found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
//  contains a file with an absolute path such as
//  "c:/Windows/system32/something.exe" it will
//  be extracted to "c:/temp/test/Windows/system32/something.exe"
success = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute);
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(gzip.LastErrorText);
    return;
