Targutai, if you are setting it to the TreeNode, you will need to JOIN the values. What the string delimeter is (semi colon (;), comma (,), or bar (|)) depends on either the selector you use or how you handle them.

Use string.Split() and get your string into an array. Typically they are stored as pipe delimited values.

I tried to pass string array to TreeNode.SetValue() but there was an exception : No mapping exists from object type System.String[] to a known managed provider native type.

Thank you Trevor! I needed to split my values with "|" char.
