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

// ...

string localFilePath = "c:/someDir/example.dat";
bool saveExtraPath = false;

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

Chilkat.ZipEntry entryObj = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir(localFilePath,saveExtraPath);
if (zip.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddFile.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
bool success = zip.AddFile(localFilePath,saveExtraPath);
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);
