usage of Split in C#

It's for new char[], which contains the ';' character.
The below example demonstrates how to extract individual words from a block of text by treating white space and punctuation marks as delimiters. The character array passed to the separator parameter of the String.Split(Char[]) method consists of a space character and a tab character, together with some common punctuation symbols.

public class SplitTest
{
public static void Main()
{
string words = "This is a list of words, with: a bit of punctuation" +
"\tand a tab character.";

string [] split = words.Split(new Char [] {' ', ',', '.', ':', '\t' });

foreach (string s in split)
{
if (s.Trim() != "")
Console.WriteLine(s);
}
}
}

// The example displays the following output to the console:
// This
// is
// a
// list
// of
// words
// with
// a
// bit
// of
// punctuation
// and
// a
// tab
// character

It's short for new char[]. The compiler infers that you mean to use a char array because it contains the ';' element.

The following overload of the Split method is being called.
