from the MSDN:

The default for the MaxLength property is 0, indicating no maximum other than that created by memory constraints on the user's system for single-line TextBox controls and a maximum of approximately 32K for multiple-line TextBox controls.

That's true only for multiline text boxes (as MSDN states). For normal text boxes, the Text property is a String, that can be huge (depends on the system memory)
