The ToCharArray method of the string class converts a string to a character array. The following code snippet creates a string into a char array.

string sentence = "Mahesh Chand";
char[] charArr = sentence.ToCharArray();
foreach (char ch in charArr)
{
Console.WriteLine(ch);
}

Here is a complete sample code:

public void StringToCharArray()
{

    // Convert string to char array
  string sentence = "Mahesh Chand";
  char[] charArr = sentence.ToCharArray();
  foreach (char ch in charArr)
{

Console.WriteLine(ch);
}

    // Convert char array to string
  char[] chars = new char[10];
chars[0] = 'M';
chars[1] = 'a';
chars[2] = 'h';
chars[3] = 'e';
chars[4] = 's';
chars[5] = 'h';
  string charsStr = new string(chars);
  string charsStr2 = new string(new char[]
{'T','h','i','s',' ','i','s',' ','a',' ','s','t','r','i','n','g'});
  Console.WriteLine("Chars to string: {0}", charsStr);
  Console.WriteLine("Chars to string: {0}", charsStr2);
}
