If your string is in the correct format you can create your array using this code (will throw exceptions if the input is badly formatted):

var text = "0x0f, 0x40, 0xff";
var bytes = text
  .Split(new[] { ", " }, StringSplitOptions.None)
  .Select(s => (Byte) Int32.Parse(s.Substring(2), AllowHexSpecifier));
