VB.NET sample program demonstrating the unzip progress monitoring event callbacks available with the Chilkat Zip component.

    ' When using events, we must declare the variable as a global or
    ' class member WithEvents
    ' Once it is declared, we can select the "zip" object from 
    ' the VB.NET IDE to see the events.  If you select the event
    ' from the dropdown, Visual Studio will create the callback
    ' subroutine for you.
