I'm storing a tab-delimited text list in a custom property, with each item maybe up to 25 characters or so in length and around 12 items per line. Over time, this could grow to several hundred thousand lines. The data is displayed in a datagrid. It's working just fine for me at this point, but is there a limit to how much data you can put into a custom property? Is there a point at which there will be a performance hit when displaying in a datagrid? I'm just wondering if I need to start learning about sql for my data storage for the long haul.
As far as I know there is no limit to the amount of data you can store in a custom property as long as it doesn't go above the total stack size that's allowed, which is about 4 gigs. I'm not sure how that would affect a datagrid though.
