Hi friends,

I am working on application in which I have to hold data(String Format) in 'string' variable. but, data is of variable size. Its size can be more than 10 mb or less than 100kb. Currently, I am holding data in 'string' variable. but I doubt, can 'string' variable hold data greater than 10 mb? OR should I use StringBuilder class ?

Yes, You can use StringBuilder class when your data is large and variable instead of string.

The string class can hold much larger strings than 10 MB but those strings are immutable; once they've been created the length or contents cannot be changed. Methods which appear to alter them, create new strings.

If data is of variable size, then you'd be better using a StringBuilder instead whose length and contents can be changed.
