We learnt about the word "integer", and that integer variables held numbers.
Names are not numbers, that's where Strings come in.

Actually a string used to set up a variable to hold text.

Dim FirstName As String
Dim LastName As String

FirstName = "Niranjan"
LastName = "Meegammana"

don't forget the quotation marks! when storing text in a variable,


Double click your new button, and add the following code:

Dim FirstName As String
Dim LastName As String
Dim FullName As String

FirstName = "Niranjan"
LastName = "Meegammana"

FullName = FirstName & LastName

Textbox1.Text = FullName



FullName = FirstName & LastName

the ampersand symbol ( & ) is used to join strings together.
It's called Concatenation.


Exercise
Remove one of the ampersand symbols (&) from this line in your code:

FullName = FirstName & " " & LastName

Textbox text in your Variables
