Showing only first part of the field in datagrid

[Arbajram]

Hi,

I have a XML file as datasource, and I bind it to datagrid.
Size of one of the columns in the dataset is quite long and I would like to
show only 20-30 characters in the datagrid (witk link "more"). How can it
be done?

Thx in advance
Armin

Armin,

Make a template column including a control for the text and a link for
"more". Make a databind expression for the text that will clip the text and
make a databind expression for the link's "Visible" property that will
return True if the text was clipped.

Thx very much.
That's exactly what I've been found out.

Best regards
