Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
      Dim line As String = "A line of text."
      Dim number As Integer = 123

      ' Append two lines of text.
      sb.AppendLine("The first line of text.")
      sb.AppendLine(line)

      ' Append a new line, an empty string, and a null cast as a string.
      sb.AppendLine()
      sb.AppendLine("")
      sb.AppendLine(CStr(Nothing))

      ' Append the non-string value, 123, and two new lines.
      sb.Append(number).AppendLine().AppendLine()

      ' Append two lines of text.
      sb.AppendLine(line)
      sb.AppendLine("The last line of text.")
