Basically, I want to be able to use string.Split(char[]) without actually defining a char array as a separate variable. I know in other languages you could do like string.split([' ', '\n']); or something like that. How would I do this in C#?

Here's a really nice way to do it:
string[] s = myString.Split("abcdef".ToCharArray());
The above is equivalent to:
string[] s = myString.Split('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f');

It's not pretty, but: string.Split(new char[] { ' ', '\n' });

Note that in C# 3 you can make this slightly prettier by eliding the "char". The compiler will work out that new[]{x,y,z} means "new array of the best common type of x, y and z".

Awesome, good to know. I'm guessing this is possible because of the type inference work done for LINQ.
you can use this overload:
public String [] Split(params char [] separator)
like this:
yourstring.Split(' ', '\n')
