DataFormatString

[Kenny]

Hi,

<asp:BoundColumn DataField="LongDescription" DataFormatString=...

Is it possible to use DataFormatString to truncate the Description display
in Datagrid? Or any suggestion??

It is a problem when the Description too long and affect the UI of the page.

Thanks,
Kenny
