   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      Dim sign() As String = {"<", "=", ">"}

      ' The code below demonstrates how strings compare 
      ' differently for different cultures.
      Dim s1 As String = "Coté"
      Dim s2 As String = "coté"
      Dim s3 As String = "côte"

      ' Set sort order of strings for French in France.

      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("fr-FR Compare: {0} {2} {1}", _
                        s1, s2, sign((ci.Compare(s1, s2, CompareOptions.IgnoreCase) + 1)))

      ' Display the result using fr-FR Compare of coté > côte.
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("fr-FR Compare: {0} {2} {1}", _
                        s2, s3, sign((ci.Compare(s2, s3, CompareOptions.None) + 1)))
