string length

Does anybody know what the maximum length of a string is in VB.NET? Is it any larger than VB 6?

In VB6 the max is like 2GB. Do you really need more?

I've read that a string in vb.net can contain up to 2^31 (about 2 billion) unicode caracters. I haven't checked that myself though...

I meant how many characters. vb 6 has about 24000

its 64bits in vb6 i think...
