GAH - you did not tell me you had FXCop running. :)

That sounds like an actual answer - no fun. ;P

How about:

    private static readonly double WhatDoesThisMean = 0.5 + Math.Sqrt(5);
    private static readonly double WhatDoesThisMean2 = 0.5 - Math.Sqrt(1.25);

    public static string\[\] **DesparatelyNeedsRefactoring**(int n)
    {
        if (n < 1) 
            throw new ArgumentException("n must be greater than zero");

        double d = Math.Pow(WhatDoesThisMean, n) - Math.Pow(WhatDoesThisMean2, n);

        var stringLength = (int) Math.Round(d / WhatDoesThisMean);
        return new string('\*', stringLength).Replace("\*", ".\*").Substring(1).Split('.');
    }

Note that I would refactor the variable 'stringLength' out as well - I put that in there to try and figure out what was going on, before I gave up and Googled.

Before .NET 4.0, object Universe = NULL;

Got distracted by productive work, and then you gave a the answer in another post. Fibonacci sequence right?

I must say I was rather pleased with myself at having worked out the correct answer before reading this post (and another) with the correct answer in. Of course if anybody actually implemented this in production code they would be told off. Reminds me of the pointer trickery fun we used to do in C "for performance reasons" :)
