Question InvalidCastException?

[Belgarion262]

I've been creating an RPG game in vb.net and have stumbled across a problem with InvalidCastException. (screenshot attached)
i can't see anything that would cause this but i'm pretty tired right now and may have missed something obvious.

thanks




(EDIT: Is it just me, or is the image not working?)

You're using the wrong operator; * operator means multiply, which means converting the operands to numbers, not possible with those strings of course. Use the & operator to concatenate strings.

thanks mate, i knew it had to be something simple like that

i didn't even notice i'd done it, i think it must be because they're next to each other
