Question

I am trying to access each element in a List<string> list and split each element in the list in my below code.

for(int i = 0; i < list.Count; i++)
{ 
    string x= list[i].ToString();
    string y= x.Split(':');
}

But this is not working, the reason shown is “Cannot implicitly convert string[] to string”. How Do i fix this? When i store list[i] in a string variable, will it be considered as a string array instead of string?

Answer 1

When you call string.Split, it will return an array of strings which comprise the components of the string which were delimited by ':'. You need to change string y= x.Split(':'); to this:

string[] y= x.Split(':');

See the documentation for the method
