And if you have Option Strict On, then you'll need to convert the double to a string as well:

VB Code:
  1. Dim strAverage As String = "Your Batting Average is " & CStr(BattingAverage)
  2.  
  3. or:
  4.  
  5.  Dim strAverage As String = "Your Batting Average is " & Convert.ToString(BattingAverage)
