Private _tag As String
Property Tag() As String
Get
Return Me._tag
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
Me._tag = Value
End Set
End Property
Public Sub New(ByVal tag As String)

Dim ma As MyAnnotation = New MyAnnotation("T1")
Dim root As XElement = <Root>content</Root>
root.AddAnnotation(ma)
Dim ma2 As MyAnnotation = DirectCast(root.Annotation(Of MyAnnotation)(), MyAnnotation)
output.Append(ma2.Tag)
output.Append(Environment.NewLine)
OutputTextBlock.Text = output.ToString()
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
MyAnnotation ma = new MyAnnotation("T1");
XElement root = new XElement("Root", "content");
root.AddAnnotation(ma);
MyAnnotation ma2 = (MyAnnotation)root.Annotation<MyAnnotation>();
output.Append(ma2.Tag + Environment.NewLine);
