title: VB.NET String.Split method?
body: <p>I'm having some issues using the String.Split method, Example here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Dim tstString As String = "something here -:- URLhere"
  Dim newtstString = tstString.Split(" -:- ")
  MessageBox.Show(newtstString(0))
  MessageBox.Show(newtstString(1))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The above, in PHP (my native language!) would return something here AND URLhere in the message boxes.</p>
  
  <p>In VB.NET I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>something here
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>AND</p>
  
  <pre><code>: (colon)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does the String.Split only work with standard characters? I can't seem to figure this one out. I'm sure it's something very simple though!</p>
