Answer 1

You can use StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        string input = "203136;70;;;;;";
        string[] result = input.Split(new string[] { ";;" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);
        foreach (string r in result)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(r);
        }
    }
}

203136;70
;
