Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

// ...
// ...
Dim pathInZip As String
pathInZip = "example.dat"
Dim encoding As String
encoding = "base64"
Dim encData As String
encData = "... BASE64 DATA ..."

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendDataEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
Dim success As Boolean
success = zip.AddEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
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 ze As New Chilkat.ZipEntry
Dim index As Int32
index = zip.NumEntries - 1
success = zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
