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;
}
