Concatenate field values

[TJHerman]

I'm sure this is ridiculously simple, but I'm new to this.

I'm trying to combine the values of three variables dimensioned as labels
into a single label variable.

My statement reads like this:

sName = autoNum & " - " & projnum & " - " & lblPropTitle

The error statement says:
"Operator '&' is not defined for types 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label' and
'String'."

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

hehe, welcome to asp.net =) i'm assuming you're using vb.net and trying
to concatenate the text that the label contains right? lblPropTitle is
(probably) a Label, so you need to use lblPropTitle.Text to get at the
input text ... ditto for the other two

assuming they are all labels, you want:
sName = autoNum.Text & " - " & projnum.Text & " - " & lblPropTitle.Text

let us know if that works!
