Remarks
A zero (0) value means no limits on the number of characters in the parsed document. A non-zero value specifies the maximum number of characters that can be parsed.
The maximum character count for the document includes the count of characters that result from expanded entities.
If the reader attempts to read a document with a size that exceeds this property, an System.Xml.XmlException will be thrown.
This property allows you to mitigate denial of service attacks where the attacker submits extremely large XML documents. By limiting the size of a document, you can detect the attack and recover reliably.
