Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

' ...
' ...
Dim pathInZip As String = "example.dat"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The AppendNew method is deprecated:

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


' ...
' ...



' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using AddEmpty.

' Indicate the newly appended entry is not a directory entry.
Dim isDir As Boolean = False

success = zip.AddEmpty(isDir,pathInZip)
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)
