rar library
what is the best library/nuget out there to list and extract the content of a rar file? it would be better if it is specifically for rar since i already able to work with zip files via the built in ZipArchive class. thanks.

i think this is only for lzma compression and not working with rar file which is an archive format

apparently rar is not an open source format
TIL
there doesn't appear to be a decent library for unzipping rars, best bet would be to make it a requirement to have 7zip / other archiving programs & unzip the files into a temporary folder
alternatively, if you want to do it the hard way
ftp://ftp.rarlabs.com/rar/unrarsrc-3.7.8.tar.gz apparently this is the official source code of the rar unzipping tool
ftp
reverse engineer that and create your own rar unzipping 
hah, I use
WebClient
call me the biggerest brain
jokes aside it's all in C
