You should be able to set it as a single dimesion array as follows:

Dim string1(5) as string

This allows you to do the following, and store it as an array:
string(1) = "ABC"
string(2) = "DEF"

Is this what you are looking for?

Or try this?

        Dim i As Integer
        Dim str As String

        str = "'ABC', 'DEF', 'GHI', 'JKL', 'MNO'"
        Dim aryStr() = str.Split(",")

        For i = 0 To aryStr.Length - 1
            Console.WriteLine((aryStr(i).ToString().Trim()))
        Next

Or to throw yet another variant in the mix:

Dim myArray() As String = {"'ABC'","'DEF'","'GHI'","'JKL'","'MNO'"}
