Create a List<string> from a Delimited string

Here’s how to create a List<string> from a Delimited string using the Enumerable.ToList method

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    IEnumerable<string> lstNew = null;
    string s = "jQuery MooTools Prototype";
    char separator = ' ';
    lstNew = s.Split(separator).ToList();
    PrintList(lstNew);
    Console.ReadLine();
}

static void PrintList(IEnumerable<string> str)
{
    foreach (var s in str)
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    Console.WriteLine("-------------");
}

VB.NET

Sub Main()
    Dim lstNew As IEnumerable(Of String) = Nothing
    Dim s As String = "jQuery MooTools Prototype"
    Dim separator As Char = " "c
    lstNew = s.Split(separator).ToList()
    PrintList(lstNew)
    Console.ReadLine()
End Sub

Shared Sub PrintList(ByVal str As IEnumerable(Of String))
    For Each s In str
        Console.WriteLine(s)
    Next s
    Console.WriteLine("-------------")
End Sub
