How to allow some specfic character of long text in telerik column

[supriya]

hi
I have an aplication in asp.net MVC and using telerik grid for display. Now one of my field has some large text about 1000 character due due which the text is getting extended vertically and layout is not looking good.
Is there any way to show some specific number of character in the column and show the whole text  in a tool tip on mouse hover or any other way to show the complete text for that column.

Thanks in advance

just add something on your model like this:

        [UIHint("MultilineText")]
        public string abc { get; set; }
      OR; 
        [DataType(DataType.MultilineText)]
        public string abc { get; set; }
