How to break on string into two seperate variable or strings in C#

[Brad Britton]

Just wondering how you would break a string such as first and last name
together, into two separate strings or variables, each containing the
firstName and lastName. I am a newbie at C# so any help would be great!

Thanks

Have a look at String.Substring, String.IndexOf and String.Split.

You can use the Split method of the String class.
Sample:
String sName = "Name1 Name2";
String[] sResult = sName.Split(' ');

In addition remember that you can split from more separators...
String[] sResult = sName.Split( ' ', ';', ',' '\' ); // and so on

You could check out Regular Expressions as well.

Here's one way:

string fullName = "your name";
string[] firstAndLast = fullName.Split(new char[] { ' ' });

// results:
// firstAndLast[0] == "your";
// firstAndLast[1] == "name";
