You can use a regular expression to match items with and without quotation marks:

string[] items =
  Regex.Matches(s, @"""[^""]*""|[^,]+")
  .Cast<Match>()
  .Select(x => x.Value)
  .ToArray();

Explanation:

""[^""]*"" - matches an item with quotation marks
             (quot, zero or more non-quot character, quot)
|          - or operator
[^,]+      - matches an item without quotation marks
             (one or more characters other than comma)
