Problem with Index of in Substring array

ProfilePageList is the string array with each string containing pageID, PageName and PageContent separated by group of characters (#$%). This is a ASP.NET application using C#

            foreach (string item in ProfilePageList)
            {
                string PageContent = ""; string PageName = ""; string PageID = "";

                *** > This part is wrong. Help me here ***

                PageID = item.Substring(0, item.IndexOf('#$%') + 2);
                PageContent = item.Substring(item.IndexOf('#$%') + 1);
                PageName = item.Substring(0, item.IndexOf('#$%'));


                callsomefunction(PageID , PageName, PageContent);  
            }

Have a look at these:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.string.substring(v=vs.71).aspx

and

http://csharp.net-informations.com/string/csharp-string-substring.htm

But I think what you're trying to do is something like this:

string[] substrings = inputString.Split("#$%");

Anyway, the data structure you are using -- cramming data into strings -- is rather convoluted. Why not just use proper objects?
