I would like to be able to bind and convert a stringarray value property into a list for output in web control like gridview bound to datasource like SqlDatasource and able to perform tasks like add string value,update a string value and delete string value from list and save back to database as a string array property. Can this be done without manipulate in code behind?

Hi @peter liles ,
As far as I know, you could choose to use javascripy and existing stringarry to fill web control content, and add/update/delete operations. Something like this:Populate-Bind-HTML-Table-using-jQuery-AJAX-and-JSON-in-ASPNet, and you need to add processing events for user operations, such as add/delet records, etc.
But if your data comes from a database, or you need to interact with the database, then you will inevitably write code in the code behind.
You can easily write a function that cracks a comma-separated list into table format.
On my web site I have an article that shares some simple functions for this purpose, and there is also a section for how to deal with a comma-separated list in a table: https://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql.html.
