Best way to convert a specific string to array

Question

I made a control

and I generated a string with javascript from a javascript array using

Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.serialize(array);

this is the string generated

"["name", "Code", "Alias"]"

this string is send to my control with a postback.

Now I need to know the best way to make an array from this string using C#

you're trying way too hard man. What web technology are you using to get from the javascript back to the c#? If it's something like WebAPI or mvc then there is just standard model binding. I wasn't the down-voter, but you got downvoted because the question is somewhat half-baked. — Rikon

I'm creating an advanced text input control using the scriptcontrol in C#. I have a lot of data in my javascript but I need some data set back when postback occures. thats why I added this string into a hiddenfield which postback capture and my textcontrol get its new changed settings after postback. — Davy Quyo

You can use JavaScriptSerializer class:

var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var array = serializer.Deserialize<string[]>(yourString);

Note: You need to add a reference to System.Web.Extensions.dll

String[] splitByComma = yourString.Split(',');
foreach(String splitString in splitByComma)
{
    splitString.Replace("\"","").Replace("[","").Replace("]","");
}
