// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Zip zip = new Chilkat.Zip();

// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
bool success = zip.NewZip("myZip.zip");

// Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
// (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
// read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
// When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
// and compressed to the .zip.)
bool saveExtraPath = false;
success = await zip.AppendOneFileOrDirAsync("/temp/a/hamlet.xml",saveExtraPath);
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The zip object references a single file.
// Retrieve the entry object...
Chilkat.ZipEntry entry = null;
entry = zip.GetEntryByIndex(0);

// Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
entry.FileName = "somethingElse.xml";

// Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
// the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
// FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

// The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
success = await zip.WriteZipAndCloseAsync();
