    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>
