I am currently using free SharpZipLib on the server side on combination with costly ComponentOne C1Zip class on the Silverlight client side. I have found that server to client works correctly, but in the other direction I have received decompress errors which hints at subtle and treacherous incompatibilities. I spent hours trying to get SharpZipLib to compile for Silverlight but gave up in tears and had to use C1Zip. To confuse matters there is also Ionic.Zlib which I found years after SharpZipLib and I actually prefer it these days because of a clearer API with some nice convenient high-level methods. I also managed to compile Zlib for Silverlight quite easily and I'm using it both sides of another Server-Silverlight app pair. Of course I feel much safer using the same library on both sides and wouldn't expect incompatibilities like previously mentioned.
