Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$zip = New-Object Chilkat.Zip

# ...
# ...

$pathInZip = "example.dat"

$bd = New-Object Chilkat.BinData
$bd.LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendBd method is deprecated:
# AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

$entryObj = $zip.AppendBd($pathInZip,$bd)
if ($zip.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddBd.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip.AddBd($pathInZip,$bd)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
$ze = New-Object Chilkat.ZipEntry
$index = $zip.NumEntries - 1
$zip.EntryAt($index,$ze)
