You can use one of the following open-source products: #ziplib, SharpCompress (native .NET library) or 7-zip (a .NET wrapper). Please see my past answers:
Compare between two folders[^],
Extract file rar with vb.net[^].

i searched GZipStream again and it worked but it is not good enough as WinRar. i need algorithm such as WinRar's and in c# not cb.net

If it is in vb.net and is the solution to your problem, "YOU" should be the one who has to do the work. We are here to show you the way how it is done. It is your responsibility to convert it to C#. And there are some web pages that ability to do it for you.

Did I tell you a single word about GZipStream? I advised very different things. First of all, you can use ZIP. I would advise to try SharpCompress first.

If you look in the Nuget package you'll find a library (.dll) that will do this task. Type nuget in google.
