String split

Hello experts,

I have below code in vb 6.0 which i want to convert into C#:

Code in vb 6.0
==============

Arr = Split(sStr, "@@@")
  
  m = 0
For i = 0 To UBound(Arr)
    Arr1 = Split(Arr(i), "***")
    Set Group = wndTaskPanel.Groups.Add(i, Arr1(0))
    
    Group.Tooltip = Trim(Arr1(0))
    Group.Special = True
    n = 0
    For j = 1 To UBound(Arr1)
      arr2 = Split(Arr1(j), "||")
      If UBound(arr2) > 0 Then
        n = n + 1
        m = m + 1
        Group.Items.Add n, arr2(1), xtpTaskItemTypeLink, m
        Set ITEM = Group.Items(n)
        ITEM.Tag = Arr1(j)
      End If
    Next j
    
    Group.Expanded = False
  Next i
