[2005]Simple Concatenation

[aldrean]

MsgBox(tboxFirstName.Text + tboxLastName.Text + "has been deleted", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Delete")

This code outputed with the firstname and lastname stating has been delete...My question is how can I put a space between firstname and lastname as well as to the string "has been deleted"?thanks in advance....

You are joining strings together. If you want another string in between the first name and last name then just put an extra string in there: one that contains a single space. Also, if you want a space before the word "has" then just put one in the string. You've got a space after the word so why can't you put one before it?

Note that you may also want to consider using the "&" operator instead of "+". You may also like to investigate the String.Format method, which makes things much more readable when concatenating multiple strings.

You just need to add a space character!

Give this a whirl

MsgBox(tboxFirstName.Text & " " & tboxLastName.Text & " has been deleted", MsgBoxStyle.Exclamation, "Delete")

You might also want to consider using Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(..), instead of MsgBox.
