Hi,
I am creating a news and events page for my web site and I have a data
grid for the summary of news items that is using a TemplateColumn I can
layout the data in the format I wish. My only problem is that one of the
fields returned by the database is a very long VarChar, It is the story
field and thus can be hunderds of characters long. I wish to cut this back
to about 100 characters and then provide a link to a page that displays the
full story. My question is how do I dsiplay only the first 100 characters of
the story.
Thanks
Kenneth
