How to add As Clause (type) to a property created with SyntaxFactory?

Question

I am creating a property with SyntaxFactory (roslyn)

Dim [property] = SyntaxFactory .PropertyStatement("MyProperty").AddModifiers(SyntaxFactory .Token(SyntaxKind.FriendKeyword))

The result is

Friend Property MyProperty

To add the property type I probably need to use WithAsClause, but I can't find any usable example.

Finally I managed to find an example in Syntax Factory Tests:TestSpacingOnNullableDatetimeType and a solution is

Dim [property] = SyntaxFactory.PropertyStatement("MyProperty").AddModifiers(SyntaxFactory.Token(SyntaxKind.FriendKeyword)).
            WithAsClause(SyntaxFactory.SimpleAsClause(
            SyntaxFactory.PredefinedType(
               SyntaxFactory.Token(
                  SyntaxKind.StringKeyword))))

which has the desired result

Friend Property MyProperty As String
