Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

// ...

string pathInZip = "example.dat";

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendNew method is deprecated:

Chilkat.ZipEntry entryObj = zip.AppendNew(pathInZip);
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddEmpty.

// Indicate the newly appended entry is not a directory entry.
bool isDir = false;

bool success = zip.AddEmpty(isDir,pathInZip);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
// The newly appended entry is the last one.
Chilkat.ZipEntry ze = new Chilkat.ZipEntry();
int index = zip.NumEntries - 1;
zip.EntryAt(index,ze);
