What's the max items in a List?

Question

Anybody know what the max number of items in a List is?

How do I increase that size? Or is there a collection that takes infinite items? (as much as would fit in me

Answer 1

The interface defines Count and IndexOf etc as type int so I would assume that int.MaxValue or 2,147,483,647 is the most items you could stick in a list.

Really got to question why on earth you would need that many, there is likely to be a more sensible approach to managing the data.
