Dropdown box limit

[chuckdfoster]

Is there a limit to the number of rows that can be in an asp.net dropdown
box? I know there is a limit in MS Access, but didn't know if it applied
here.

thanks,

I'm sure there is one..but we are talking about thousands and thousands and
it's probably limited more bythe user's machine than anything else.

If you do plan on having a gigantic dropdown, make sure to look at:

which warns of pitfalls to avoid w/large textboxes and viewstate.
