How to extract files from .CAB file using C#.Net?

I have a CAB file generated from CABARC.EXE. I need to extract the file using ASP.Net C#.Net.

How to do it in C#.net itself? I don't want to use the same CABARC.EXE for extraction. Because we don't use this tool in production environment.

Please give your valuable suggestions/code to achieve this task.

Thanks in advance

Ganesh.

Have a look at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions//bb267310(v=vs.85)#microsoft-cabinet-file-format

There you have a file format description for the CAB file.

If you want a native C# solution I suggest you start with the file specification for CAB files here:
