[Vlastimil]

Hallo,

I have rad grid with  columns and displayed data have string format(and it is long text ). And I need to  display for example only first ten charakters of text ( in GridBoundColumn). 
Is there any possibility  how to do it?
Thanks for answer

Hi,

Try the following code snippet to achieve the desired scenario.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            if (item["UniqueName"].Text.Length > 10)
            {
                item["UniqueName"].Text = item["UniqueName"].Text.Remove(10);
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
Shinu.
