C#: How do you split a string after a specific length and after a whitespace?

Question

This might be a really dumb question for some of you, but I just don't seem to get this right: I want to divide a long string into some lines of text. Therefore I need to split it after a specific length. As the words should be complete in one line it should also take care of the whitespaces. And there's the problem!

This is my code:
for(x=0;  x<Text.Length;  x+=CharsInOneLine)
{
if( !(x+CharsInOneLine > Text.Length) )
				{
StringArray[ x / CharsInOneLine ] = Text.Substring (x , CharsInOneLine);
}
}
else 
[...]

This code correctly splits the string into parts. But of course it does not take care of the whitespaces. And: No, I can't use &#92;r&#92;n to create a new line. It does not work in this specific case. 

Can anyone of you help?

If your string can't be longer than say 80 characters, go to character 80 and if it isn't a space have your program check character 79 and keep going back until you have a space and then split the the string.
