Solution 2

Use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser class:

C#

TextFieldParser parser = new TextFieldParser(new StringReader(csvAsString));

// or read from the file
// TextFieldParser parser = new TextFieldParser("mycsvfile.csv");

parser.HasFieldsEnclosedInQuotes = true;
parser.SetDelimiters(",");

string[] splitStrings;

while (!parser.EndOfData)
{
    fields = parser.ReadFields();
    foreach (splitString in splitStrings)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(splitString);
    }
} 
//Don't forget cleanup
parser.Close();

VB

Private Function splitQuotedLine(ByVal line As String, ByVal delimeter As Char) As String()
Dim list As New List(Of String)

    Do While line.IndexOf(delimeter) <> -1
        If line.StartsWith("""") Then
            line = line.Substring(1)
            Dim idx As Integer = line.IndexOf("""")
            While line.IndexOf("""", idx) = line.IndexOf("""""", idx)
                idx = line.IndexOf("""""", idx) + 2
            End While
            idx = line.IndexOf("""", idx)
            list.Add(line.Substring(0, idx))
            line = line.Substring(idx + 2)
        Else
            list.Add(line.Substring(0, Math.Max(line.IndexOf(delimeter), 0)))
            line = line.Substring(line.IndexOf(delimeter) + 1)
        End If
    Loop
    list.Add(line)
    Return list.ToArray
End Function
