Public Class Example
   Public Shared Sub Demo(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock)
      ' Displays the values of the pattern properties.
      outputBlock.Text &= " CULTURE    PROPERTY VALUE" & vbCrLf

   Public Shared Sub PrintPattern(ByVal outputBlock As System.Windows.Controls.TextBlock, ByVal myCulture As [String])
      Dim myDTFI As DateTimeFormatInfo = New CultureInfo(myCulture).DateTimeFormat
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("  {0}     {1}", myCulture, myDTFI.RFC1123Pattern) & vbCrLf
   End Sub 
End Class
' This example produces the following output.
'       CULTURE    PROPERTY VALUE

      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "en-US");
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "ja-JP");
      PrintPattern(outputBlock, "fr-FR");
   }
