Transition from Zip.AppendNewDir to Zip.AddEmpty

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendNewDir method calls with AddEmpty. C#

bool success = false;

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

//  ...
//  ...
string pathInZip = "exampleDir";

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  The AppendNewDir method is deprecated:

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

//  ...
//  ...

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

//  Indicate the newly appended entry is a directory entry.
bool isDir = true;

//  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
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);
