Whatever it is, it is way to much.

The Old VB6 control will hold a huge number, the problem with it though was that the index property was an integer. So at 32767 items, it would switch to negative numbers, and above 65k it would toss an error if you tried using the index.

In any case, ask yourself, do your users really want to scroll through 20,000 items in a list box?

I just need a number to take back to the people who make the decisions

So its probably the limit of an integer

Nope, potentially 20,000,000 and I would prefer that they didnt have to.

Thanks for your time

I would guess the limit would be 2147483648 (0 - 2147483647) as this is the positive range of integer and most indexed collections use integer as the indexing type.


Hope this helps.

and how many hours would it take to load that. And when will windows crash?

BTW the customers wants to be able to do this. but this doesn't mean that you have to do it all at once. Think about paging. The customer will think it can see all the records but in actual fact it will see only a couple hundred at a time. that way you speed up the app and you don't bog down the server.

It will take some work. Depending on the database you are using.
