Here is a snap of my database.

Both col1 and col2 are declared as int.

My ComputedColumn currently adds the Columns 1 and 2, as follows...

col1  col2  ComputedColumn
1     2     3
4     1     5

Instead of this, my ComputedColumn should join the columns 1 and 2 (includimg the '-' character in the middle) as follows...

col1  col2  ComputedColumn
1     2     1-2
4     1     4-1

So, what is the correct syntax?
