Dim success As Boolean
success = False

success = False

// Open an existing ZIP archive.
Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

success = zip.OpenZip("example.zip")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
Dim xml As String
xml = zip.GetDirectoryAsXML()

System.DebugLog(xml)

// Suppose the ZIP contains:

// data/config/settings.json
// docs/readme.txt
// images/logo.png

// The XML contains one element for each ZIP entry.
// Example:
// 
// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
// <zip_contents>
//     <dir name="data">
//         <dir name="config">
//             <file>settings.json</file>
//         </dir>
//     </dir>
//     <dir name="docs">
//         <file>readme.txt</file>
//     </dir>
//     <dir name="images">
//         <file>logo.png</file>
//     </dir>
// </zip_contents>
