var dumpOptions = new DumpOptions { SortDirection = ListSortDirection.Ascending };

var csDumper = new CSharpDumper(dumpOptions);
var cs = csDumper.Dump(person);

var vbDumper = new VisualBasicDumper(dumpOptions);
var vb = vbDumper.Dump(person);

// C# string
Console.WriteLine(cs);
// VB string
Console.WriteLine(vb);

class Person
{
	public string Name {get; set;}
	public int Age {get; set;}
}
