Hi Friends,

Do anyone know the maximum size of xml which can be parsed without any error by C# 2005? by XMLDOCUMENT Class ?

Depends on available system memory. Assume four times document size for XmlDocument size.

ok fine .. this sounds good .. but the bad thing is :
in our production server we have 4 GB of RAM!! while parsing XML of 300 MB it is throwing 'System Out of Memory Exception'

so .. 300*4 = 1.2 GB and the RAM there is 4 GB!!

Please assist :)

Well you'll have to check the task manager, there are undoubtedly other processes running on the server. Unless the server is running a 64 bit system then you'll only get a maximum of 2GB anyway unless you have enabled more:

Alternatively look at processing using XmlReader if possible.

how can I find out the 32 bit system or 64 bit system ? I can access our Prod. server in TAMPA through Remote Desctop ..

and the 2nd thing is : except the normal windows processed we just executed that process only where the large xml is being parsed there .. so we can wash out the probability of any other process to run ..
