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

// ...
// ...
string pathInZip = "example.txt";
string textData = "This is a test";

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendString method is deprecated:

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

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddString.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
bool success = zip.AddString(pathInZip,textData,"utf-8");
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);
