Concatenation Operators
As in the previous versions, Visual Basic 2010 still offers concatenation operators that are the + and & symbols. The main difference is that the + symbol is intended for numeric additions, although it can works also with strings; the & symbol is instead defined only for strings, and it should be preferred when concatenating strings so that you can avoid possible errors. Listing 4.2 shows an example of concatenation.
