You're asking a question that will almost always end up being answered by using serialization and/or data framing in some form. Ie. "How do I send some structure over the wire?"

You may want to serialize your int[] to a string using a serializer such as XmlSerializer or the JSON.NET library. You can then deserialize on the other end.

int[] numbers = new [] { 0, 1, 2, 3};
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(int[]));
var myString = serializer.Serialize(numbers);

// Send your string over the wire
m_writer.WriteLine(myString);
m_writer.Flush();

// On the other end, deserialize the data
using(var memoryStream = new MemoryStream(data))
{
    XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(int[]));
    var numbers = (int[])serializer.Deserialize(memoryStream);
}
