Transition from Zip.AppendDataEncoded to Zip.AddEncoded

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendDataEncoded method calls with AddEncoded. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

' ...
' ...
Dim pathInZip As String = "example.dat"
Dim encoding As String = "base64"
Dim encData As String = "... BASE64 DATA ..."

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

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


' ...
' ...



' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

' Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
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)
