Tiny way to get the first 25 characters

Question

Can anyone think of a nicer way to do the following:

public string ShortDescription
{
    get { return this.Description.Length <= 25 ? this.Description :          


        

Answer 1

return this.Description.Substring(0, Math.Min(this.Description.Length, 25));

Doesn't have the ... part. Your way is probably the best, actually.
