What is the maximum amount of data I can load onto a form control?
My application consumes too much memory and hangs when more than 500,000 records are added to any windows forms control in my experience. Any clues?

Yes, that will cause problems.
Don’t add that many records.
Nobody needs that many. What you need to do instead is add filtering capabilities so that the user can specify which range of the data he/she wants to use.
For instance, let the user narrow the search by date (if it’s time-sensitive data), or order number range, or … well, whatever.
But I can guarantee you that finding a way to add 500K rows to a grid or whatever is not a solution.
