Operator &= (Concatenate and Assign)


Appends and assigns a string onto another string

Syntax:
declare operator &= ( byref lhs as string, byref rhs as T2 )
declare operator &= ( byref lhs as wstring, byref rhs as T2 )

Usage:
lhs &= rhs

Parameters:
lhs
The string to assign to.
rhs
The value to append to lhs.
T2
Any numeric, string or user-defined type that can be converted to a string.

Description:
This operator appends one string onto another. The right-hand side expression (rhs) is converted to a string before concatenation. It is functionally equivalent to,

lhs = lhs & rhs

where the result is assigned back to the left-hand side string.

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.

Examples:
Dim s As String = "Hello, "
s &= " world!"
Print s

will produce the output:

Hello, world!
