Concatenate Strings in Visual Basic .NET
Visual Basic provides two concatenation operators: + and &. Both join two strings together.
Because the + symbol also represents an arithmetic operator, your code will be easier to read if you use the & symbol also knows as ampersand, for concatenation.
Using & can also make your code faster and lead to fewer problems because it lets Visual Basic know that the operands are strings.
