   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)

      ' Creates a new NumberFormatinfo.
      Dim myNfi As New NumberFormatInfo()

      ' Takes a negative value.
      Dim myInt As Int64 = -1234

      ' Displays the value with default formatting.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Default  " + ControlChars.Tab + ":" _
         + ControlChars.Tab + "{0}", myInt.ToString("N", myNfi)) + vbCrLf

      ' Displays the value with other patterns.
      Dim i As Integer
      For i = 0 To 4
         myNfi.NumberNegativePattern = i
         outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Pattern {0}" + ControlChars.Tab + ":" _
            + ControlChars.Tab + "{1}", myNfi.NumberNegativePattern, _
            myInt.ToString("N", myNfi)) + vbCrLf
      Next i
