Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

' ...

Dim pattern As String = "*.txt"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The FirstMatchingEntry method is deprecated:

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


' ...

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' Do the equivalent using EntryMatching.
' Your application creates a new, empty ZipEntry object which is passed 
' in the last argument and filled upon success.

Dim ze As New Chilkat.ZipEntry
Dim success As Boolean = zip.EntryMatching(pattern,ze)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
