Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendBd method calls with AddBd. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean

Dim pathInZip As String

Dim bd As New Chilkat.BinData

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  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)

End If

//  ...

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

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