Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

// ...
// ...
Dim pathInZip As String
pathInZip = "example.txt"
Dim textData As String
textData = "This is a test"
Dim charset As String
charset = "utf-8"

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The AppendString method is deprecated:

Dim entryObj As Chilkat.ZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendString2(pathInZip,textData,charset)
If (zip.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using AddString.

// Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
Dim success As Boolean
success = zip.AddString(pathInZip,textData,charset)
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)
