Transition from Zip.AppendBd to Zip.AddBd

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

' ...
' ...

Dim pathInZip As String = "example.dat"

Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData
bd.LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

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

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' ...
' ...



' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using AddBd.

' Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


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