Convert string numbers to Array C#

Question

Lets say I have a string str = "012345"; I want to convert it to an array which would look like intAry = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5};. Any ideas?

I tried like this..

for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
{
   intAry[i] = Convert.ToInt32(str[i]);
}

But what went to array are like 48, 49, etc. Which correct method should I use here?

Answer 1

    for (int i = 0; i < str.Length; i++)
        intAry[i] = str[i] - '0';

Update

Or as LINQ:

var array = str.Select(ch => ch - '0').ToArray();

Answer 2

How about this.

  string source = "12345";
   Int32[] array=source.Select(x => Int32.Parse(x.ToString())).ToArray();

but remember every character within source should be convertible to an Integer
