What is the maximum number of characters that can be stored in a string variable In C#?

Question

i was wondering what is the maximum number of characters that can be stored in a string variable In C#

@HansPassant on 32bit applications I assume? or does 2 GB also apply to 64Bit applications? — Rand Random, Aug 18 '22 at 16:56
It's worth noting that you don't "store characters in a string". A string consists of characters that are there from the point the object is initialized. Strings are immutable and shouldn't be thought of as a storage medium. Your question is better phrased as "what is the maximum length of a string?" — Flydog57, Aug 18 '22 at 18:10

The maximum size of a String object in memory is 2-GB, or about 1 billion characters.
