Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'string[]'

Hello!
I have a rich text Box field named "txtReadfile" in which i load ea text file having possibly many word.
now i want to store the text from "txtReadfile" in a string array for further process, but when i try to do so by using the following code it give me an error "Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'string[]' "

string[] arrTxtReadfile = txtReadfile.Text.ToString();


Please Help. thanks in Advance

A string and a string array are two different things.

When you call .ToString() on an object, it creates a [single] string, not a string array.

To fix declare string[] arrTxtReadFile without the [].

If I get what you are trying to do, you want to store multiple strings for further process?

I believe you should use a List<string>, a Stack<string> or a Queue<string>. This way, you can store multiple strings without having to redimension an everytime.

Hope this helps!
