Is there a limit to the number of rows that can be added to a DataTable in c#?

Question

I am fetching data from excel file, decoding the SAML requests and then storing the decoded requests in a DataTable - all done in C#.

The problem is that when I count the number of rows that have been added to the DataTable using this code:

int totalRows = table.Rows.Count; 

The output is not the same as the number of rows in the actual excel file. I was just wondering if there is a limit to the number of rows that can be added from excel file to a DataTable?

Answer 1

The maximum number of rows that a DataTable can store is 16,777,216.
