Does formatted string have length limitation?

I tried to do very simple operation, at least I thought it will be simple,
and it is to use String.Format. But, when formatted string bigger than 255 I
got this mistake "Input string was not in a correct format".

WHY IS IT SO?

Hello, Pavel!

PI tried to do very simple operation, at least I thought it will be
Psimple, and it is to use String.Format. But, when formatted string
Pbigger than 255 I got this mistake "Input string was not in a correct
Pformat".

PWHY IS IT SO?

I do not know it there is any strict limitation...

Do you have symbols '{' or '}' in the text that do not server as parameter placeholder?
If you have them then they have to be escaped with the same character.
That is '{' becomes '{{' and '}' becomes '}}'

Excuse me, but it was my mistake. This string was so long and mistake was
only for 1 letter, that I didn't put attention at till I started copy to
here. I wrote {9) instead of {9}.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
