Visio ShapeSheet Cell limitations

[Igor [ITP]]

Hi.

We have tried to write a string content into the visio shapesheet cell.
This resulted each time with an out of memory exception. The code used:

celObj.FormulaU = "\"" + strValue + "\"";

What we have observed is that this error occures with the strings
larger
than 38Mb. Same thing happens using the VB code to write to a visio
cell.
Are there any limitations on the string size regarding the visio cell?
Is there any way to write larger content to a cell?

Tnx
Igor

Visio cells support 64K of information. If you want to write more
information to the document, I suggest using SolutionXML. See the Developer
Reference for help on this property.

Thank you for the quick answer. I think the visio cell ist not limited
to 64K when storing the information into the cell programatically. In
the past we stored pretty large contents into the cell. But on the long
terms I think we are going to split the string and store it in
compressed form. It will be nice to know if there is any limitation on
size when storing the information programatically.

cheers
