.NET StringBuilder Memory Exceptions - Limitations for large data

Article of the week!

I'm starting a new blog series called Article of the week, where I will post articles that I consider interesting and helpful.

I came across a nice article while working on a problem related to large XML files, that describes how working with managed .NET objects that already use StringBuilder can cause memory exceptions on 32 bit systems, very nice read on msdn blog:

And because being too serious is lame

Hope this helps, an stay tuned for more on Control-F5!

Cheers,

Alex
