      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("The value of my pet (a {0}) is {1}", myPet, myPet.ToString("d")) & vbCrLf
      If myColor.Equals(myPet) Then output = "Yes" Else output = "No"
      outputBlock.Text += String.Format("Even though they have the same value, are they equal? {0}", output) & vbCrLf
   End Sub 'Main
