I'm starting to learn asp.net using VB.net and I have a quick question, have a look at the following code:

dim MyDate as DateTime = DateTime.Now
OurLabel.Text = "MyDate: " + MyDate + " "

OurLabel.Text += "Date Properties: "

This is from a book I'm reading, I understand 99% of it, but my question is what does the += mean ('more than equals'??).

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Off the top of my head its a shortcut for saying

OurLabel.Text = OurLabel.Text + "Date Properties: "

Its the same as saying

i = i + 1

except you use

i += 1
