What is the & Symbol in VB?

I have this VB code that I am converting for someone, but he didn't comment it, so what does it mean

Dim Arguments As String = path & "\" & fs & ".freeze" & " ls"

private string _arguments = Path.Combine(path, fs + ".freeze") + " ls";

This should work.

The & operator in Visual Basic is used to concatenate strings. In C# the concatenation operator is + and so the direct translation is

string Arguments = path + @"\" + fs + ".freeze" + " ls";

Better in my view would be to use Path.Combine:

string Arguments = Path.Combine(path, fs + ".freeze") + " ls";

That's just string concatenation:

string arguments = path + @"\" + fs + ".freeze" + " ls";
