DotNetZip library on windows phone 8

I have been trying to add dotnetzip to my windows phone 8 project without luck. I tried adding it via nuget but it fails to add with the message "not compatible with any projects in the solution". The package targets NetFramwork Version=v2.0".I also downloaded its binary from codeplex but still they don't get added. How do i add it to the project. Where can i find DotNetZip library for windows phone. Please Help.

In order for the DotNetZip library to be used in a Windows Phone app, it must itself be a portable class library that targets the Windows Phone 8.1 platform. You could download the source from its CodePlex page and see if it can be compiled within a portable class library that targets the Windows Phone 8.1 platform.

However... check out the System.IO.Compression namespace which contains the ZipArchive type. This type allows you to read existing archives and perform updates on them too. From looking at the System.IO.Compression MSDN page, there is also a ZipFile type which allows creating new archives, but its not available in the Windows Phone 8.1 API unfortunately.
