So etiher mailid or pwd is a Long and the other is a String.

I assume that mailid is a Long:

Dim UserAccount As String = mailid.ToString() & "\" & pwd

But if you use & to concatenate strings you can also omit the ToString.

Another readable way is using String.Format which also converts implicitely to string:

Dim UserAccount As String = String.Format("{0}\{1}", mailid, pwd)
