Hi, You can use it. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main( string [] args) { string dalalisttext = "I have 200 words in description column but I want to display only 100 words in Label in Datalist. What will be the code behind it?" ; string [] words = dalalisttext.Split( ' ' ); string get100Words = string .Empty; // no of words which you want. if (words.Length { for ( int i = 0; i { get100Words += words[i] + " " ; } } Console.WriteLine( "Get 100 words only :" + get100Words); Console.ReadKey(); } } } Output:

Can you write it exactly?

Amit Kumar · Answer

For this inside the loop u can split that sentence with space " " and count 100 index again use the loop and bind only 100 index list.

With substring, this shows 100 characters not words..

Hi, You can do it with 2 ways. 1. return only 100 chars from store procedure or 2. Before bind your datatable in listview use for each loop and get substring if 100 chars or any which u want from using substring function in c# and make it whole text clickable whenever anyone click on text link full text will shown in pop-up.
