.NET 4.5 support zip64

Does .NET 4.5 support zipping and unzipping with zip64? I know some third party libraries such as dotnetzip support it but I was wondering if .NET classes such as ZipArchive or ZipFile supports it? And if not, then how come I am able to extract zip files with zip64 using windows explorer or using windows' default zip utility?

I can confirm that ZipArchive will create zip64 archives automatically if required, I haven't tested uncompression but I'd be surprised if it wasn't supported!

Dot NET framework 4.5 provides some new classes in System.IO.Compression namespace that allows us to do.

Using these classes we can do following :

1.create new Zip files.

2.open and modify existing Zip files

3.extract the contents of Zip files
