Script used in the Script task to Zip Multiple Folders in SSIS Package

public void Main()
        {
            //Assign values to local variable from Package Parameters
            string inputfolder = Dts.Variables["$Package::SourceFolder"].Value.ToString();
            string archfolder = Dts.Variables["$Package::ArchFolder"].Value.ToString();
        

           //Loop through folders and zip them and delete them from Source folder
            foreach (string dir in Directory.GetDirectories(inputfolder))
            {
                //MessageBox.Show(s);
              //get only folder name form full path
                string foldername = dir.Replace(inputfolder, "");
               //Zip the input folder to file
                ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(dir, archfolder+foldername+".zip");
               //Delete the folder
                Directory.Delete(dir,true);
