Demonstrates the Zip AppendNew function. C#

bool success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

string zipPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/test.zip";

// Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath);

// Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
// This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
// that will get processed when the zip is written.
zip.AddEmpty(false,"empty.txt");

// Append another entry..
string pathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt";
zip.AddEmpty(false,pathInZip);

// Add some data to this entry..
Chilkat.ZipEntry entry = new Chilkat.ZipEntry();
zip.EntryOf(pathInZip,entry);
entry.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8");

// Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
zip.FileName = zipPath;
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");
