Try This :

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim Name, Id, ye, Gen As String

        Name = txtName.Text
        Ye = txtYearEnrolled.Text
        Id = txtIDNum.Text

        Gen = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(ye, 2) + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Id, 4) + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Name, 3)

        If Name = "" Then
            MsgBox("Name is empty")
        ElseIf ye = "" Then
            MsgBox("Year is empty")
        ElseIf Id = "" Then
            MsgBox("Id Number is empty")
        ElseIf txtYearEnrolled.TextLength > 4 Then
            MsgBox("Year Enrolled text box comtain more than 4 number")
        ElseIf Not IsNumeric(txtYearEnrolled.Text) Then
            MsgBox("Year Enrolled is not a numeric")

i did'tn get what u want exactly...
this part code is how to get string from name, id and year.

Gen = Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(ye, 2) + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Id, 4) + Microsoft.VisualBasic.Right(Name, 3)

Right Function used to get some string from string as many as u want.
Right(SourceString (String), how much string to get (Int)).
