Gets or sets the maximum number of characters or bytes that the control can hold.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
Public Property MaxLength As Integer

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As GcTextBoxCellType Dim value As Integer instance.MaxLength = value value = instance.MaxLength

C#
public int MaxLength {get; set;}

Property Value

The number of characters or bytes (determined by the LengthAsByte property) that can be entered into the control.
The default is zero.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException	If the value is less than zero, an ArgumentOutOfRangeException is thrown.

Remarks

The MaxLength property allows you to limit the number of characters a user can enter in the control. The default value is 0, which does not limit the number of characters. Any number greater than 0 indicates the maximum number of characters. The GcTextBox.MaxLengthUnit effects the display results with the MaxLength property.

Example

This example uses the MaxLength property.
