== Why is this an issue?

To improve the code readability, the explicit line continuation character, ``++_++``, should not be used. Instead, it is better to break lines after an operator.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        ' Noncompliant
        Console.WriteLine("Hello" _
                          & "world")
    End Sub
End Module
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Sub Main()

        Console.WriteLine("Hello" &
                          "world")
    End Sub
End Module
