Explanation of Split() Method
c#
Solution
`Convert.ToChar(@"\")` could be `'\\'` as well. The first slash is to escape the second. `@'\'` does not work for chars. And `'\'` escapes the second quote, not closing the char definition. `Convert.ToChar(@"\")` is a verbose way of writing whats necessary. An array of `string[]` is declared because if you split a string with a delimiter it can return multiple strings, if the delimter was found. Each splitted piece is a seperate string.
Problem
I am implementing fileupload/downloading from SQL Server. Code is working all fine. I came across this code - can someone please explain what this line is doing? ``` string[] strPath = strFile.Split(Convert.ToChar(@"\")); ``` I know it's splitting a string (`strFile`) ... and I think the delimiter is '`\`'. But why is a string array `string[] strPath` declared? And why is `(Convert.ToChar())` used ? Kind regards.
