Split string into two separate strings

Question

I have a name that is just one string for example "LUKE CARROLL" and I want to split this string into first name and last name. So I just need to split the string where there is a space.
So I would end up with something like:

string FirstName = "Luke";
string LastName = "Carroll";

How do I do this?

Have you looked at [`string.Split`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/b873y76a(v=vs.110).aspx) — ChrisF, Dec 01 '16 at 10:07

Use split()

    string name= "LUKE CARROLL";
    string[] tmp = name.Split(' ');
    string FirstName = tmp [0]; 
    string LastName = tmp [1];
