VS2005 - there are a number of classes that have 64K limits.

No, you got it wrong: if you're hitting limits - you're doing it wrong. I have no doubts that the limits you specified are there and true.

Do you mean System.String? If so, it's not an IDE restriction.

That's not an IDE limitation. A string is limited by a continguous chunk of available memory, not some arbitrary 16-bit number. I'd start looking to see if there is a big enough hole in the large object heap. The LOH doesn't get rearranged like the smaller heap does, so any holes created in memory will stay that way on the LOH.

She's blaming neither the IDE nor the OS, just ranting about the 16-bit limitation.

Whatever you blame (IDE, OS), they come from one creator. :-D
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick - Silverlight *.XCP files

String literals maybe, System.String certainly not. (I've had longer *nudge* *nudge*)

No, you got it wrong: if you're hitting limits - you're doing it wrong. I have no doubts that the limits you specified are there and true.
In .NET 2.0 the Treeview is limited to 64K nodes per root, this is not longer the case in .NET 3.0 but I have legacy issues to deal with. BTW in the OP I was planning to change things anyway, it was just one last item I wanted to test before doing so... Concactenating strings in the multi-Megabyte range isn't very efficient but the overhead of writing to a disk file will slow down the application too much hence looking at

| FoldWithUs! | sighist | µLaunch - program launcher for server core and hyper-v server.I split a broadcast stream down into smaller chunks to speed up testing and 50K output was fine, tried a number of other and coincidentally larger streams which made things blow up and finally the original that I had split up and the same thing happened. Having found out about the 64K child limit on Treeview I am highly suspicous. :suss: This is .NET 2.0 BTW, I think a numbre of 16 bit length vlaues were changed to 32 bit in .NET 3.0
