Hi Srinivas,

In order to display "...", you should set the TextTrimming property for the TextBlock. For example: 

<TextBlock TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" Text="{Binding Value}"/>

All the best,

Hello,

You are right.
In that case you can use WordEllipsis:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
  <DataTemplate>
    <TextBlock TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Text="{Binding Name}"/>
  </DataTemplate>
</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>
