Is 43679 a magic number?
magic-numbers, winforms
Solution
If convert `43679` to hex then it's `0xAAA0`. Or in inverse form `0xAAA0 = 0xFFFF - 0x555F`.
0x555F is code of Chinese Unicode symbol 'open; begin'. May be it is a Chinese message or some kind of Chinese magic)
Problem
Recently I was investigating this question: Storing long values in DataGridView C#. After some tests I found out that the `DataGridViewCell` will not display any text with a length larger than 43679 characters, even if the value is actually stored in the cell and you can access it programmatically. Actually, this has also been reported as a bug for `SQL Server Management Studio`: SSMS - Can not paste more than 43679 characters from a column in Grid Mode. I guess that the limit is intended to prevent any overload on the UI rendering. But my questions are: - Why this exact value is being used? - Is there any documentation for this limit?
