VB.NET Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendNewDir to Zip.AddEmpty

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendNewDir method calls with AddEmpty. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

'  ...
'  ...
Dim pathInZip As String = "exampleDir"

'  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
'  The AppendNewDir method is deprecated:

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry = zip.AppendNewDir(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 a directory entry.
Dim isDir As Boolean = True

'  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
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)
