I have 2 string variables as below

string name = "firstname|lastname" ;
string value = "Vishal|Lamba" ;

I need to assign first name = "Vishal" and lastname = "Lamba"

value and names in pipe separated string may increase dynamically

I'd still use a Dictionary, I don't understand why you can't.
What are you actually trying to accomplish.

Use an array for dynamic number of substring.
To do it, try to split the string as suggested by Richard in S1.

I am not exactly sure what you require but this example may be helpful.

C#

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i <20; i++)
{
 sb.Append($" F{i}|S{i}");
}
//build a test string where the format is 'forename0|surname0 forename1|surname1 ..'
string testString = sb.ToString().Trim();
//use Linq to get an enumerable of 2 element string arrays 
var names = testString.Split(' ').Select(n => n.Split('|'));
//For ease of use, convert into a named value tuple list 
var tuples = names.Select(n => (n[0], n[1])).ToList<(string ForeName, string SurName)>();
foreach (var t in tuples)
{
 Console.WriteLine($"ForeName= {t.ForeName} SurName= {t.SurName}");
}
Console.ReadLine();
