Splitting string by two conditions in vb.net 2014 -

i'm trying split string list of strings vb.net code, while adding dictionary of string:

objevt.wbstr.add(b, objevt.metalbelowwidth.item(b).split({",","-"}).tolist) 

but error saying "value of '1-dimentitional arrary of string' cannot converted 'char' "

if try implement splitting comma, works fine. following code works. objevt.wbstr.add(b, objevt.metalbelowwidth.item(b).split(",").tolist)

but want split string 2 conditions. appreciated. thanks!

one of overloads of split method takes string array needs have stringsplitoption parameter set.

objevt.wbstr.add(b, objevt.metalbelowwidth.item(b).split(new string() {",", "-"}, stringsplitoptions.none).tolist)   sub main()     dim mystring string = "h,c,j-hello-world"     dim mylist list(of string) = new list(of string)     mylist = mystring.split(new string() {"-", ","}, stringsplitoptions.none).tolist     each s string in mylist         console.writeline(s)     next     console.readline() end sub
