How to limit label string length in GridView with Read More link?

Question

Currently I used like this...

Answer 1

Add an invisible HtmlAnchor control after the Label. Try something like,

 
      
      
      [Read More]
 


if(strDesc.Length > length)
{
    var anchor = ((Label)Desc).NamingContainer.FindControl("aReadMore");
    anchor.Visible = true;
    return strDesc.ToString().Substring(0, length) + "...";
}
