title: How to Convert a character array to string array
body: <p>I have the code below that requires me to convert a character array to string array, but I get the following error: <code>Option Strict On disallows implicit conversions from '1-dimensional array of Char' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable(Of String)'</code></p>
  
  <pre><code>    Dim lst As New List(Of String)
      lst.AddRange(IO.Path.GetInvalidPathChars())
      lst.AddRange(IO.Path.GetInvalidFileNameChars())
  
      lst.Add("&amp;")
      lst.Add("-")
      lst.Add(" ")
  
      Dim sbNewName As New StringBuilder(orignalName)
      For i As Integer = 0 To lst.Count - 1
          sbNewName.Replace(lst(i), "_")
      Next
  
      Return sbNewName.ToString
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried using a converter through Array.ConvertAll, but couldn't find a good example, I could use a loop, but thought there would be a better way. Could anyone help?</p>
