Concatenation

There are a few ways to combine strings together in VB:

• The & operator: You can concatenate strings using the & operator. Here is an example:

• The String.Concat method: Another way to concatenate strings is using the String.Concat method. Here is the same example utilizing the String.ConCat method:

  Dim firstName As String = "Sally"
  Dim lastName As String = "Stone"
  Dim fullName As String = String.Concat(firstName, " ",lastName...
