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
