how long can a string be?

Question

How long can a System.String be? I know that the Length() method returns a signed Int32, so it probably can't exceed 2^31 (2 billion something) characters. Does anyone know if its length is further restricted to a smaller maximum?

Hi Kishore cannot find the attachment. Could you update it.
And you need to install 2005 first and then 2008 later.
