The String.Length property returns an int, so the maximum length of a string is Int32.MaxValue() = 2,147,483,647 characters. Practically this will probably mean that you can make your string as long as you have memory available to put it in.

A string variable can contain from 0 to approximately 2 billion Unicode characters.
