using (Stream stream = File.Open("test.zip", FileMode.Open))
{
    using (ZipArchive archive = new ZipArchive(stream))
    {
        string fullName = Directory.CreateDirectory("Extracted Content").FullName;

        foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
        {
            string fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(Path.Combine(fullName, entry.FullName));
            if (Path.GetFileName(fullPath).Length != 0)
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath));
                using (Stream fileStream = File.Open(fullPath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
                {
                    using (Stream entryStream = entry.Open())
                    {
                        entryStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
                    }
                }
            }
            else
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(fullPath);
            }
