Limit Text in GridView Text c#

Hai All,

           Today i came to face a situation in which is hould limit the text in a GridView in ASP.Net, C#, So i Just want to share it with you all For a help

use the Following code to limit your text accordingly

 <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Description" >  
                   <ItemTemplate>  
                     <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkBtnId" runat="server" Text='<%# ((string)Eval("description")).Length < 40? Eval("description") :((string)Eval("description")).Substring(0,40) + "..."%>'  
                       CommandName='<%# Eval("raw_id") %>' OnClick="lnkBtnId_Click"></asp:LinkButton>  
                   </ItemTemplate>  
                 </asp:TemplateField>  

Change the "description"  to your datafiled and Change the "40" to your desired limit of count to see it in a properway in the Gridview
