Dim output As New System.Text.StringBuilder
' Iterate through each Example in the Lookup and output the contents.
For Each packageGroup As IGrouping(Of Char, String) In lookup
   ' Print the key value of the Example.
   output.AppendLine(packageGroup.Key)
   ' Iterate through each value in the Example and print its value.
   For Each str As String In packageGroup
      output.AppendLine(String.Format("    {0}", str))
   Next
Next

' Display the output.
outputBlock.Text &= output.ToString() & vbCrLf

// Iterate through each Example in the Lookup and output the contents.
foreach (IGrouping<char, string> packageGroup in lookup)
{
   // Print the key value of the Example.
   outputBlock.Text += packageGroup.Key + "\n";
   // Iterate through each value in the Example and print its value.
   foreach (string str in packageGroup)
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("    {0}", str) + "\n";
