Answer 1

Use string.Split() function. It takes the max. number of chunks it will create. Say you have a string "abc,def,ghi" and you call Split() on it with count parameter set to 2, it will create two chunks "abc" and "def,ghi". Make sure you call it like string.Split(new[] {','}, 2), so the C# doesn't confuse it with the other overload.
