Hello,
does a String in C# have a maximum length?
I tried to write a ToString Method of my class containing a hashtable.
At the beginning of the method i defined a String "ret".
In every iteration of my hashtable I add the content with ret += "...".
After some time my programm crashes.
If i use Console.Writeln in every iteration instead of ret += ...,
then everything works fine.
So I guess it has something to do with a possible maximum length of a
string?

Hi Martin,
The string itself should handle lengths well above your future memory
limits, but massive string concatenations won't work well if the hashtable
is large.
Instead of ret += "..." use StringBuilder.A ppend

String length is an int, which has a max value of (2,147,483,647)
characters. Your more likely to be hitting memory problems than string
length problems. Instead of doing += use a stringbuilder. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ilderclass.asp

It works fine now.

If I remember correctly A few of the upper bits of the length (I believe 3
but don't quote me) are used as flags for other information .. so I believe
this limits it in the MS implementation to 28 bits in length which is
substantially shorter ... of course you are quite unlikely to hit this as
the limit will tend to be the largest contiguous area of memory available.
Cheers,
Greg

Won't virtual memory let you have a string that is larger than the largest
contiguous area of memory available.

No, the current CLR versions (both 32 and 64bit) limits the object size to a
maximum of 2GB. As, a System.String instance is just an array of unicode
bytes, it means that the string is limited to 1GB characters. Note that on a
32 OS, you will never be able to allocate that object size from the heap,
here the max. size of a string will be much less tha 1GB.

Hi all,
am I right assuming that the maximum length for a varchar field
I can fetch with the sybase_fetch_* functions is 255?
This maximum can only be circumvented by using a text or image col, right?
Or am I completely lost?

Is there a maximum length in VBA of a line containing stuff like the
following:
If password = "1234" or password = "1235" or password = ............... Then
It seems to me that at some stage, I add an extra password onto the end of
the line and it does not work. I assumed it might be 255 characters, but
the line that works is much longer than that.

Is it possible to use String.Format() to specify a maximum length for a

no longer than, say, 3 characters? I know I can easily specify the
