My ItemState property of the GridView displays lots of characters.
I want to display only the first 60 characters (but the EditItemState
property should display all the characters). Where should I write the
code, in HTML view or in Code-behind file
In HTML view I tried both Remove() and Substring() methods, but
both did not work.
How can I get only the first 60 characters in ItemState
Advance Thanks.
Customizing ItemState
An De Lafonteyne
create a method in your code like:-
protected string WhateverYouWantToCallThis! (string strIn)
{
return strIn.Length<60 strIn: strIn.SubString(0, 60);
}
Then in you data grid turn the column into a template column, edit the item one and change it to custom databinding, then add WhateverYouWantToCallThis!(Eval("ItemState"))
This should work - syntax might not be 100%, let me know if you need anymore help.

In the other way ,I think you can set the column
dataGridView1.Columns.Insert(0, New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn)
' Modify the first column
With dataGridView1.Columns(0)
' Don't allow the column to be resizable.
.Resizable = DataGridViewTriState.False
' Make the check box column frozen so it is always visible.
.Frozen = True
' Put an extra border to make the frozen column more visible
.Width = 60
.Readonly=true
End With
maybe it will show the characters you want
