how to get string content at each line in C#

I have a string which contains a small code which is run dynamically. But i want to store each line of string in separate datastructure and also count the lines.

string CodeStr = @"using System";

namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(" Hello World");
        }
    }
}

For counting lines :

        int count = 0;
        int position = 0;
        while ((position = CodeStr.IndexOf('\n', position)) != -1)
        {
            count++;
            position++;       
        }

but i dont know how to get content at each line like

line 1 : using System;

line 2 : namespace ConsoleApplication2

line 3 : { and so on for the complete string.

Simply split the string using Split if the string is in code:

string[] lines = CodeStr.Split( new string[] { Environment.NewLine }
                              , StringSplitOptions.None
                              );

Or, if the file is read from disk, use File.ReadAllLines:

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(yourFilePath);
