I am binding some data to control, but want to limit the number of character of a specific field to a 30 first characters.

I want to do it, if it's possible, on aspx page.

I tried this:

Text='<%# String.Format("{0}", Eval("Title")).Substring(0,30) %> '

But got this error:

Index and length must refer to a location within the string. Parameter name: length
