C# Syntax - Split String into Array by Comma, Convert To Generic List, and Reverse Order

Question

What is the correct syntax for this:

IList names = \"Tom,Scott,Bob\".Split(\',\').ToList().Reverse();

What am I

Answer 1

I realize that this question is quite old, but I had a similar problem, except my string had spaces included in it. For those that need to know how to separate a string with more than just commas:

string str = "Tom, Scott, Bob";
  IList names = str.Split(new string[] {","," "},
  StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

The StringSplitOptions removes the records that would only be a space char...
