Transition from Zip.AppendOneFileOrDir to Zip.AddFile

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendOneFileOrDir method calls with AddFile. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

' ...
' ...
Dim localFilePath As String = "c:/someDir/example.dat"
Dim saveExtraPath As Boolean = False

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The AppendOneFileOrDir method is deprecated:

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry = zip.AppendOneFileOrDir(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' ...
' ...



' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using AddFile.

' Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddFile(localFilePath,saveExtraPath)
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)
