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

public static Take(this string s, int i)
{
    if(s.Length <= i)
        return s
    else
        return s.Substring(0, i) + "..."
}

public string ShortDescription
{
    get { return this.Description.Take(25); }
}
