  How to show only n characters using DataBinder.Eval?

  Aug 02, 2003 12:41 AM|LINK

  Hi, I have a DataTable that I bind to a DatGrid, I need to show only the first n characters from a column in the Table, I can't change the SQL query, so I thought it would be possible with string formatting, but I can't find a format string to do it. Is there any? Thanks.

  Hi, FYI: Substring and display "..." if the text returned is too long Regards,
