stringbuilder to string[]

[murrayja]

I am using the kernel function to read dot-ini sections and section values. The function ReadPrivateProfileSection returns a 'stringbuilder' value which is a series of strings representing the key=value items of the section as strings (null terminated) and terminated with a final null. I want to get this stringbuilder result into a C# string[] but casting fails.
Any ideas?

If it is truly a StringBuilder object that is returned, a simple .ToString() should suffice:
string myvalue = stringbuilder.ToString();

It is indeed a stringbuilder that is returned as my post states. The stringbuilder object returned is a series of strings so that 'stringbuilder.tostring()' returns only the first of several returned catenated strings. EG if I had three lines in the section with the values 'a', 'b', 'c' the stingbuilder object returned would be a,\0,b,\0,c,\0,\0 and the tostring method returns "a". I have written my own code to extract the section values so, thanks for trying.

If it is a native string builder and not some custom object that should work..
