Auto Zip Downloads with ASP.NET

I once had a site that I helped to administer that, amongst other things, hosted a great deal of forms in .pdf format for their partners to download. In addition to the files being available separately, they were grouped together in zip files to ease several different tasks (these were insurance agents). Unfortunately (for me), these files were updated quite often so I had to spend a lot of time updating and uploading the individual pdf document and each and every zip file that included it.
As you can probably guess, this was kind of error prone as I would forget to update a zip file from time to time. Eventually, I decided I had enough so I decided to automate the process.
