I tested this in C # and there is a limitation on class names in the compiler even though there is no limitation in the CLI.



If you declare a class name of 511 characters it works. If you use 512 characters, you get the "Identifier too long" compiler error.

From Ecma-335, p. 103:



Metadata retains name strings generated by the compiler or generator code unchanged. Essentially, it treats each line as an opaque blob. In particular, it preserves the case. The CLI imposes no length limitation on names stored in metadata and subsequently processed by the CLI.

There does not appear any one (the flow refers to the length of the name of the method, but it really applies to your question).
