// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendBd method is deprecated:
// AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddBd.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
Dim success As Boolean
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
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 index As Int32

success = zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
