Is there a limit in the length/size of a string?
Can a string contain for example the content of a 5Mb Text-File?

Very easily. In theory, the size of a string is limited to 2 "giga
characters" (as above that, the Length property would be stuffed). In
practice, it's going to be limited to the amount of memory (real and
virtual) you have.
