string strToSplit = "dp@Duplicate Passport;sp@Stolen Passport;";

string[] items = strToSplit.Split(";");
foreach(string item in items)
{
string[] ask = item.Split("@");
// ask[0] will = "dp"
// ask[1] will = "Duplicate Passport"
// and it repeats. What you do with it, would be up to you or how you want to store it.
}

Cannot convert type 'string' to 'string[]'

stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();
foreach (string key in Request.QueryString.Keys) //get the url string from querystring
{
//items data looks like this: "SP;ADP;FDD;DFD";
string items = Request[key];

string[] itemsarray = (string[])items;
foreach (string item in items)
{
string[] x = item.Split(';');
if (string[0] == "SP")
{
sb.append("sp = stolen passport");
}
