Module Example

   ' Pad the end of a TimeSpan string with spaces if it does not 
   ' contain milliseconds.
   Function Align(ByVal interval As TimeSpan) As String

      pointIndex = intervalStr.IndexOf("."c, pointIndex)
      If pointIndex < 0 Then intervalStr &= "        "
      Align = intervalStr
   End Function
