I want to add in my application functionality to decompress (and optionally compress) files in various format. I have libraries that supports zip, gzip, 7zip and bzip2. But still not found library that support rar.
I know that rar is commercial, but maybe there is some .net library that could be used to decompress rar-s? The best would be free library, but library with small price is also acceptable.

The compression algorithm is closed source but the decompression algorithm is open source. The author encourages people to broaden support for RAR decompressors, and a number of portable versions exist. for decompress rar file you can use C# (.net) interface for 7-Zip archive dlls

Try SevenZipSharp. It supports extraction of RAR files and everything else that 7-zip supports.

My project SharpCompress extracts RAR and other formats in native C# with no external DLLs needed.
