Question

I have a simple question that I am having trouble trying to find an answer for. I want to create a string that after 50 characters will replace everything after it with three dots? So as a quick example:

(The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog)
would become something like:
(The quick brown fox jumped over the la…)

If someone could give me a quick answer or point me to an answered question that would be much appreciated?

Answer 1

if (text.Length > 50) 
    text = text.Substring(0,50) + "...";
