Which is better for array check? .GetLength or .Length

[needscoop]

Determining count of array (1 dim) elements (words within a string) - which is better approach to use: .GetLength(0) or .Length ? Is one approach better than the other, or only marginally?

See code snippet below:

string[] MyCheck = mystring.TrimStart().Split(' ');

int MyItemsCnt = 0;
						
MyItemsCnt = MyCheck.[B]GetLength(0)[/B] ;
  // [u]or[/u] ???
MyItemsCnt = MyCheck.[B]Length[/B] ;
						
if ( MyItemsCnt > 50 )
   {
   MyItemsCnt = 50;    // caps words in string to 50 max.
   }

... and so on

I seldom use multidimensional arrays, so I always use .Length
