You can't store an array in a single cell and it would be a bad idea to try - you can do it by converting each element of the array to a string and concatenate them to form CSV data, but that's a nightmare to work with later.

If you are trying to store an array into multiple rows, that's not too bad at all: convert your array to a DataTable and use the SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer Method (DataRow[]) (System.Data.SqlClient)[^]
