The notes here[^] explain it thus:
If two delimiters are adjacent, or a delimiter is found at the beginning or end of this instance, the corresponding array element contains Empty.

You should check the number of elements returned from the Split() method and discard a first empty one if there are more than two. Alternatively you could trim the text first to purge it of leading and trailing spaces.

Solution 2

why r u doing that with single textbox i think u should take two text boxes becoz in ur case it saves in a single field in database and it can affect the filter in database when u search the records by first name or last name so i suggest u take 2 instead.

I was suggesting that you use proper words. Using txtspk (u, r, ur etc) in this forum gives the impression that you are childish or stupid or both. Try and make an effort to appear professional in your comments.

Don't use textspeak, don't be ***so rude***!

Now please explain, why do ***you*** thinks evil of others?
The way you speak is elementary rude. A first advice for you was a friendly suggestion to improve your style in assumption you simply did not recognize this is a problem. Now, you're trying to be a bully.

I'm just asking: please try to comply with elementary expectations of reasonably cooperative behavior, for common good including your own.

Best,

Why use split? why not use string simple functions?

VB

TextBox1.Text.Trim()

Dim SpaceIndex As Integer = TextBox1.Text.IndexOf(" ")
MsgBox(SpaceIndex)

Dim First As String = TextBox1.Text.Substring(0, SpaceIndex)
Dim Last As String = TextBox1.Text.Substring(SpaceIndex + 1)

MessageBox.Show(First)
MessageBox.Show(Last)
