How to pass a string array into a stored procedure in SQL Server from c# via ADO.NET entity model

Question

I am currently developing an application in c# where I have a string array NameArray and recorded the number of values in the array as count. I need to pass this to my sql server database where I will store each of the value of the array as individual records(names) into a Table. How do I write a stored procedure for doing such a operation.

Furthermore the name of the entity connection string is MyEntities and I have created its object as Entityobj.

The code I am trying to execute in c# is something like this

    public void Method1(string[] NameArray, int count)
     {
      Entityobj.CallSproc(NameArray,count);// Here I am passing the values to stored procedure
     }

How do I make the stored procedure receive the values and store them as individual records?

Anyways I worked out the problem myself with the help of using this link http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/78607b/using-table-valued-parameters-in-entity-framework/

The link shows how to pass simple values to Table value parameters using Entity object. I edited the code to pass an by adding each value of the array into a single row(through iteration). I don't know whether this is a efficient way to do it but it serves my purpose well and code is working pretty fine.

Also there was a warning in my code as Entity Framework does not support table as datatype(table valued parameters) but the code worked fine anyway.
