Solution 1

Found this blog[^] which explains it.
Either turn UseMnemonic[^] off or use a double ampersand "&&" which simply shows one.
Hope it helps! :)

Solution 2

Hi, Uday P.Singh is right. Much simpler if you use double ampersand like this:

VB

Dim a As String = "Hello && Welcome"
        Label1.Text = a
