        ' Get a Type object for the Example type.
        Dim t As Type = GetType(Example)

        ' Get a PropertyInfo object for the Answer property.
        Dim pi As PropertyInfo = t.GetProperty("Answer")

        ' Display the type returned by the Answer property.
        outputBlock.Text &= String.Format("The return type of the {0}.{1} property is {2}.", _
             t.Name, pi.Name, pi.PropertyType) & vbCrLf

    End Sub
End Class

    }

    public static void Demo(System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock outputBlock)
    {

        Type t = typeof(Example);

        // Get a PropertyInfo object for the Answer property.
