        string[] FilteredStrings = null;
        FilteredStrings = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Strings.Filter(myStrings, "is", true, Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompareMethod.Text);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        foreach (string myItem in FilteredStrings)
        {
            sb.Append(myItem + "<br />"); // Returns ["This", "Is"].
