Class Example

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

        Dim myType As Type = GetType(EventAttributes)

        outputBlock.Text = _
            String.Format("Fields of {0}, flagging FieldAttributes.SpecialName:" & vbLf, _
                          myType.Name)

        For Each fi As FieldInfo in myType.GetFields()
            ' Determine whether or not each field has a special name.
            If fi.IsSpecialName Then
                outputBlock.Text &= _
                    String.Format("{0} has the FieldAttributes.SpecialName attribute." & vbLf, _
                                  fi.Name)
            Else
                outputBlock.Text &= fi.Name & vbLf
            End If
        Next fi

    End Sub
