Property Value
Type: System.Int32
The number of elements in the BitArray.

Remarks
Length and Count return the same value. Length can be set to a specific value, but Count is read-only.
If Length is set to a value that is less than Count, the BitArray is truncated and the elements after the index value -1 are deleted.
If Length is set to a value that is greater than Count, the new elements are set to false.
Retrieving the value of this property is an O(1) operation. Setting this property is an O(n) operation.
