How Many Rows Can A Listbox Hold? Windows Form Application

Question

I have over 9,00,000 records in my Access database but only a fraction of that is being displayed in the listbox. How Many Rows Can A Listbox Hold? Around 65K is the answer I go

Answer 1

I'm not sure what the exact limit is (The url provided below gives some suggestions) I think the number of items you want to populate the listbox with will probably slow your computer down alot if it's populating it with that many records.

Maybe you should consider using a different control that allows paging like a DataGrid or something similar to display 100 results at a time?
