Is there a upper bound limitation on ArrayList in C#?

Hi:

I need make a calculation from database and the result may have 20,000,000
records which format is just a string. Can I add them into an ArrayList
object one by one? Is there any upper limitation on ArrayList object?

Even there is no limit, I don't think this is not a good solution. It must
take much memory. Any suggestion?

Thanks

Well, you're limited only by memory, but that's quite a few strings. It
would take a long time to read all that into memory and would probably
consume all your memory and a lot of swap space.

You don't describe the calculation you need to make. If you describe what it
is you're trying to do as well as tell us what kind of database it is
(Access, SQL Server, etc), we can probably provide a better solution.

Why not do the calculation in the query?

The hard limit would appear to be Int.MaxValue as int is used for things
like count and the indexer.

Quentin,

I would only ask meself those questions when my reference would exceed an
integer conform the used processor. I assume that that is the address width
that forever is used in Net classes.

However, when you have calculated the values, from an extraction from your
database, why don't you than not just calculate them everytime new?

I am having a weird problem with my DataGrid that is bound to an ArrayList. My situation is as follows: I have two DataGrids on a modal form.

Hi, I've bound an ArrayList to a datagrid and succesfully managed to display the data via an ItemTemplate column and using <%# Container.DataItem %>.

I'd like to get the upper bound index of an integer array. I've tried the following: Dim i as Integer Dim arrayIng() as Integer i = arrayIng.GetUpperBound This doesn't work.
