        ' Rather than appending a file using AppendFiles or AppendOneFileOrDir
        ' This example loads the file into a byte array, and then appends the byte
        ' array.
        Dim fInfo As New System.IO.FileInfo("fw9.pdf")
        Dim numBytes As Long = fInfo.Length
        Dim fStream As New System.IO.FileStream("fw9.pdf", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read)
        Dim br As New System.IO.BinaryReader(fStream)
        Dim data As Byte() = br.ReadBytes(CInt(numBytes))
        br.Close()
        fStream.Close()

        zip.AppendData("taxForm.pdf", data)

        zip.WriteZipAndClose()
