The function Split converts a string to an array of strings. If we have string a="hello,bill,gates";, and call the function Split on it string[] b = a.Split(',');, the value of b becomes {"hello", "bill", "gates"}. Then, the number of elements is counted with Length:

int count = ViewData["words"].Split(',').Length;

You could use the split method:

int count = ViewData["words"].Split(',').Length;
