Open URL with inputs in VB?

I have a problem with vb.net which I find kinda weird.

So I have this sub called NavigationWebURL which opens any url in your default browser.

NavigateWebURL("http://URLHERE.net/private.php?action=send&uid=2763296&subject=Application rating&message=I rate your Riptide application " + MetroTrackBar1.Value + " out of 100", "default")

But that gives me following error message: enter image description here

And this is one of the very good reasons to why you should never use the plus sign (+) to concatenate strings.

When you're concatenating strings with the plus sign and you include a number (Integer, Long, Double, Decimal, etc.) the compiler tries to add all the entries together as if the whole thing was a number.

Visual Basic has it's own concatenation operator (&), which in my opinion should always be used with strings to avoid problems.

MetroTrackBar1.Value is of a numeric type, which is why you get the error. To fix it, just replace the plus signs with concatenation operators.

NavigateWebURL("http://URLHERE.net/private.php?action=send&uid=2763296&subject=Application rating&message=I rate your Riptide application " & MetroTrackBar1.Value & " out of 100", "default")
