Limit string lengths in C# adding Ellipsis (...) text

The following snippet of code can be used to limit the lenth of strings in a paragraph of text using C#.

The code will add ellipsis (or '...') characters to the end of the string.

Happy coding

public static string Ellipsis(string originalText, int length)
        {
            if (originalText.Length <= length) return originalText;
            int pos = originalText.IndexOf(" ", length);
            if (pos >= 0)
                return originalText.Substring(0, pos) + "...";
            return originalText;
        }

Detecting Browser Display Width Using Jquery - Responsive Design

I have recently been working on a project that needs to be 'responsive' dependent on the visible browser area, I have written some Jquery code that detects the user's browser display width and disables or enables stylesheets as required, I have included a snippet below should this help anyone.

function ProcessPageSize() {

//Configure stylesheets based on visible area.

setStyleEnabled("deskStyle", true);
setStyleEnabled("deskStyle2", true);
setStyleEnabled("handheldStyle", false);
setStyleEnabled("tabletStyle", false);

//get window width
var width = $(window).width();

if (width < 960) {
setStyleEnabled("deskStyle", false);
setStyleEnabled("deskStyle2", false);

if (width < 400)
setStyleEnabled("handheldStyle", true);
else
setStyleEnabled("tabletStyle", true);
}

}

function setStyleEnabled(styleName, isEnabled)
{
$('link[@rel*=style][title]').each(function (i) {
this.disabled = true;
if (this.getAttribute('title') == styleName) this.disabled = !isEnabled;
});
}

//Call configure page function
$(document).ready(function () {
ProcessPageSize();

$(window).resize(function () {
//resize just happened, pixels changed
ProcessPageSize();
});



});

Responsive Design

JPR freelance are currently working on a cutting edge website build using responsive design techniques and CSS media queries.

The mobile and tablet market is ever-increasing and it is important that sites are built to accommodate the mobile market, building a site with CSS media queries allows us to alter graphical display based upon a client's device display size.
