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/test.zip";

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

// AddEmpty is used when you wish to add a directory or empty file to the zip
// such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
// even if it contains no files.

bool dirFlag = true;

zip.AddEmpty(dirFlag,"dirA");
zip.AddEmpty(dirFlag,"dirB");
zip.AddEmpty(dirFlag,"dirC");

// Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
zip.FileName = zipPath;
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
