' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip
Dim success As Boolean

Dim zipPath As String = "c:/temp/test.zip"

' Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath)

' AppendNewDir is used when you wish to add a directory to the zip
' such that when the zip is unzipped, the directory will be created
' even if it contains no files.


Dim entry As Chilkat.ZipEntry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirA")

entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirB")

entry = zip.AppendNewDir("dirC")


' Write the zip, which contains 3 empty directories: dirA, dirB, dirC.
zip.FileName = zipPath
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(zip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Success.")
