Try this you will get the exact answer.

C#

static void Eg3()
       {
           string str = "a";
           try
           {
               while (1 == 1)
               {
                   str = str + "a";
               }

           }
           catch (Exception ex)
           {
               Console.WriteLine(str.Length);

               throw ex;
           }
       }

Solution 1

String length is an int so the its size is 2,147,483,647...but I would surmise you will hit other problems such as memory issues before loading up that string. Roughly the max string could be 2 gig, but the real issue is getting enough memory from the heap as an allocation, which would limit one to half that size.

I thought it was a dumb question at first, of course it is defined by the memory you have use, then I started looking for the number and failed to find it in 5 minutes, about the limit of my attention span.
