simple -> how can I convert a multiline string to an array

[MrPolite]

I have a string with a bunch of "new line" characters. I want each line to be an element of a string array. I dunno what I'm doing wrong but it doesnt work too well with String.Split

I'm doign this:
String.Split (Environment.NewLine.ToCharArray());

every other element of the array appears to be blank (""). what's the right way?
