If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

• A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
• A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
• An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

The default value is 1.

This property is mainly used in SQL Server stored procedures to retrieve binary data from the last method call that returned binary data. It is only accessible if Chilkat.Global.KeepBinaryResult is set to 1. This feature allows for the retrieval of large varbinary results in an SQL Server environment, which has restrictions on returning large data via method calls, though temp tables can handle binary properties.

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: 1 means success, 0 means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages. Note: This property does not apply to methods that return integer values or to boolean-returning methods where the boolean does not indicate success or failure.

In SQL Server stored procedures, this property holds the string return value of the most recent method call that returns a string. It is accessible only when Chilkat.Global.KeepStringResult is set to TRUE. SQL Server has limitations on string lengths returned from methods and properties, but temp tables can be used to access large strings.

The length, in characters, of the string contained in the LastStringResult property.

Maximum last-modified timestamp for files processed during add or extract operations.

Files having modification timestamps later than this value are skipped.

This property is set automatically when a ZIP archive is opened by any of the Open* methods, such as OpenZip, OpenFromMemory, OpenBd, and related methods.

Important: PasswordProtect and Encryption are mutually exclusive.

If PasswordProtect = 1, then Encryption should be 0.

The default value is 0.

Gets or sets a path prefix that is prepended to ZIP entry paths for files appended from the local filesystem.

This is useful when you want all extracted files to appear under a specific subdirectory.

This property affects only the following methods:

• AppendFiles
• AppendFilesEx
• AddFile
• AppendOneFileOrDir

The PathPrefix value is prepended to the stored ZIP path for each appended filesystem file.

For example, set PathPrefix to subdir/ so that files are stored in the ZIP with subdir/ prepended to their paths. When extracted, the files will be placed under the subdir directory.

This property does not affect entries added entirely from memory, such as entries added using:

• AddString
• AddData
• AddBd
• AddSb

For in-memory entries, the ZIP entry path is determined solely by the filename/path argument passed to the method.

The default value is the empty string.

Specifies the character encoding used to convert the decrypt password into its binary byte representation for legacy password-protected ZIP archives that use Zip 2.0 encryption.

The default value is ansi.

Other possible values include:

• pathInZip specifies the filename and optional directory path stored within the ZIP.
• The bytes contained in bd become the contents of the ZIP entry.
• The entry is added to the in-memory ZIP object and is not written to disk until WriteZip, WriteZipAndClose, WriteBd, or WriteToMemory is called.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Adds an empty file or directory entry to the ZIP archive.

• If isDir = 1, an empty directory entry is created.
• If isDir = 0, an empty file entry is created.
• pathInZip specifies the path stored in the ZIP archive.

This method is useful when directory structure entries must exist even if no files are present.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Adds encoded binary data as a ZIP entry.

• encoding specifies how data is encoded.
• Common encodings include base64 and hex.
• The decoded binary bytes become the contents of the ZIP entry.

This method is useful when binary data already exists in textual encoded form.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Adds a file or directory from the local filesystem to the ZIP archive.

• If localPath is an absolute path and saveExtraPath = 1, the stored ZIP path includes the relative directory structure.
• If saveExtraPath = 0, only the filename is stored.
• If localPath is already relative, the relative path is stored as-is regardless of saveExtraPath.

This method adds a reference to the file or directory in the local filesystem. The file data is not immediately read or compressed.

The actual file contents are consumed only when a Write* method is called, such as:

• WriteZip
• WriteZipAndClose
• WriteBd
• WriteToMemory

This allows files and data entries to be accumulated in the in-memory ZIP object prior to writing the final ZIP archive.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Adds a file extension to the internal "no-compression" list.

Files having these extensions are stored without compression because they are already compressed or because compression would provide little benefit.

For example:

• .zip
• .jpg
• .png
• .gz

The extension may be specified with or without the leading dot.

Additional extensions remain active for the lifetime of the Zip object unless removed with RemoveNoCompressExtension.

Adds the contents of a StringBuilder object as a text entry in the ZIP archive.

• The text is converted to bytes using the specified charset.
• pathInZip specifies the filename stored in the ZIP.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

• The string is converted to bytes using the specified charset.
• pathInZip specifies the path stored within the ZIP archive.

This method is useful for dynamically generating text files directly in memory.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Adds one or more files matching a wildcard pattern.

• The wildcard character * matches zero or more characters.
• If recurse = 1, subdirectories are processed recursively.
• If recurse = 0, only the current directory is searched.

For example:

AppendFiles("c:/temp/*.txt", 0)

This method only updates the in-memory ZIP object. The ZIP file itself is not written until a Write* method is called.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Advanced version of AppendFiles with additional filtering and path options.

• saveExtraPath controls whether the extra leading path information from the filePattern is preserved in the ZIP.
• archiveOnly applies only on Windows and limits processing to files having the archive attribute set.
• includeHidden controls whether hidden files are included.
• includeSystem controls whether files with the System attribute are included.

This method adds references to files in the in-memory ZIP object. No ZIP file is written until a Write* method is called.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Note: This method is currently not working and will be fixed in v11.5.0

• All directories having the specified name are skipped.
• The comparison is case-insensitive.
• Call multiple times to exclude multiple directory names.

This affects methods such as AppendFiles and AppendFilesEx.

Extracts files from a Chilkat-created self-extracting EXE.

• Files are extracted into dirPath.
• Subdirectories are automatically created as needed.
• If the EXE is encrypted, DecryptPassword must be set before extraction.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

The returned XML contains information about the entries currently contained within the ZIP archive, including files and directories.

This method is useful for inspecting ZIP contents without extracting files.

Returns the XML document as a string.

Returns NULL on failure

(Windows only, for creating self-extracting EXE's)

Returns the value of a configuration parameter embedded within a self-extracting EXE.

For example:

• MainTitle
• MainCaption
• SetupExe

Returns the parameter value as a string.

Returns NULL on failure

Returns the largest uncompressed file size contained within the ZIP archive.

The size is returned as a string rather than an integer because the value may exceed the range of a 32-bit integer.

This method is useful when:

• Checking for extremely large files before extraction
• Estimating required disk space
• Detecting unusually large compressed entries

Returns the size as a decimal string.

Returns NULL on failure

Checks whether a file extension is contained in the internal "no-compression" extension list.

Files having extensions in this list are stored without compression because they are typically already compressed.

The extension may be specified with or without the leading dot.

For example, both of the following are valid:

• .jpg
• jpg

Returns 1 if the extension exists in the list, otherwise returns 0.

Checks whether a ZIP archive uses legacy Zip 2.0 password protection.

The zipPath argument specifies the path of a ZIP file in the local filesystem.

This method checks only for traditional Zip 2.0 password protection.

Returns 1 if the ZIP archive is password protected, otherwise returns 0.

The zipPath argument specifies the path of the ZIP file to open.

Encrypted ZIP archives may be opened without providing a password, but encrypted entries cannot be extracted until the correct password is provided using DecryptPassword.

When the ZIP archive is opened:

• PasswordProtect is automatically set if legacy Zip 2.0 encryption is detected.
• Encryption is automatically set if strong encryption is detected.
• Encryption = 4 indicates WinZip-compatible AES encryption.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Efficiently appends additional entries to an existing ZIP archive.

The zipPath argument specifies the path of an existing ZIP archive in the local filesystem.

This method avoids rewriting existing entries.

• Existing ZIP entries remain unchanged.

• The ZIP central directory is updated accordingly.

This method is typically faster than rebuilding the entire ZIP archive.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Removes a file extension from the internal "no-compression" extension list.

After removal, files having this extension may be compressed normally.

The extension may be specified with or without the leading dot.

Sets the compression level for all file and data entries currently contained within the ZIP object.

• 0 → No compression
• 9 → Maximum compression

The default compression level is 6.

Important: This method should be called after files or data entries have already been added to the ZIP object.

The compression level cannot be changed for mapped entries originating from an already-open ZIP archive.

Specifies a collection of wildcard exclusion patterns used when adding files to the ZIP archive.

Each pattern may use the wildcard character * to match zero or more characters.

Files matching any exclusion pattern are skipped.

(Windows only, for creating self-extracting EXE's)

Sets a configuration parameter embedded within a self-extracting EXE created by WriteExe or WriteExe2.

The paramName should be one of the XML configuration tag names described in the ExeXmlConfig property documentation.

The generated EXE supports the following command-line arguments:

• -log logFileName
• -unzipDir unzipDirectoryPath
• -pwd password
• -ap autoRunParams

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Saves the Zip to a file and implictly re-opens it so further operations can continue. Use WriteZipAndClose to write and close the Zip. There is no limitation on the size of files that may be contained within a .zip, the total number of files in a .zip, or the total size of a .zip. If necessary, WriteZip will use the ZIP64 file format extensions when 4GB or file count limitations of the old zip file format are exceeded.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

Saves the Zip to a file and closes it. On return, the Zip object will be in the state as if NewZip had been called. There is no limitation on the size of files that may be contained within a .zip, the total number of files in a .zip, or the total size of a .zip. If necessary, WriteZip will use the ZIP64 file format extensions when 4GB or file count limitations of the old zip file format are exceeded.

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddBd.

Appends the contents of byteData as a new entry to this zip object. The zip entry object containing the data is returned.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddEncoded.

Appends in-memory data as a new entry to a Zip object. The filename is the filename of the entry as it will appear within the zip. The encoding is the encoding of the data, such as base64, hex, etc. The full list of encodings is listed at the web page linked below.

Returns the zip entry object.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddEmpty.

Appends a new and empty entry to the Zip object and returns the ZipEntry object. Data can be appended to the entry by calling ZipEntry.AppendData.

Important: To append an already-existing file, call the AppendOneFileOrDir method. The AppendNew method inserts a new and empty file entry within the Zip object. The purpose of AppendNew is to either create an empty file within the Zip, or to create a new file entry which can then be filled with data by calling the entry's AppendData method.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddEmpty.

Adds an entry to the zip so that when it unzips, a new directory (with no files) is created. The directory does not need to exist on the local filesystem when calling this method. The dirName is simply a string that is used as the directory path for the entry added to the zip. The zip entry object is returned.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddFile.

Adds a file or directory to the object. If fileOrDirPath is an absolute file path and saveExtraPath is true, fileOrDirPath is converted to a relative file path for the zip entry. Otherwise, only the filename is stored. If fileOrDirPath is a relative file path, it is stored as-is in the zip, regardless of saveExtraPath.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddSb.

Same as AppendString, but append the contents of of the sb, and allow the charset to be specified. The contents of sb is converted to charset before being added to the zip. The pathInZip is the path of the file that will be stored within the zip.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns 1 for success, 0 for failure.

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddString.

Adds an in-memory string to the Zip object. The textData argument is converted to the ANSI charset before being added to the Zip. If the Zip were written to disk by calling WriteZip, and later unzipped, the entry would unzip to an ANSI text file.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call AddString.

Same as AppendString, but allows the charset to be specified. The textData is converted to charset before being added to the zip. The internalZipFilepath is the path of the file that will be stored within the zip.

Note: This method only updates the zip object. To update (rewrite) a zip file, either the WriteZip or WriteZipAndClose method would need to be called.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call EntryAt.

Return the first entry in the Zip. Call ZipEntry.NextEntry to iterate over the entries in a Zip until a NULL is returned.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call EntryMatching.

Returns the first entry having a filename matching a pattern. The * characters matches 0 or more of any character. The full filename, including path, is used when matching against the pattern. A NULL is returned if nothing matches.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call EntryById.

Finds and returns the entry with the given entryID. (Each entry within the zip object has a unique EntryID.)

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call EntryAt.

Retrieves a ZipEntry by index. The first entry is at index 0. This will return directory entries as well as files.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated. Applications should instead call EntryOf.

Returns the entry where the file path stored within the zip equals entryName.

Returns NULL on failure

This method is deprecated and will removed in a future version of Chilkat.

Returns the current collection of exclusion patterns that have been set by SetExclusions.

Returns NULL on failure

Sets both the decrypt password and encrypt password.

This method affects:

• DecryptPassword
• EncryptPassword

Note: This method is deprecated in favor of setting DecryptPassword and EncryptPassword separately.
