Can maximum number of characters be defined in C# format strings like in C printf?

Question

Didn\'t find how to do that. What I found was more or less on the lines of this (http://blog.stevex.net/string-formatting-in-csharp/):

Answer 1

Why not just use Substr to limit the length of your string?

String s = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
String.Format("Character limited: {0}", s.Substr(0, 10));
