Hello,

Could you please try to use following sample code:

<%# LimitLength(Eval("SKUDescription"), 10 , "...") %>

Best Regards,

Thanks, this does work but not when adding to existing code.

what is the difference between:

<%# HTMLEncode(ResHelper.LocalizeString(Convert.ToString(Eval("SKUName")))) %>


and

<%# LimitLength(Eval("SKUName"), 10 , "...") %>

not meaning that linitLength works in second one, but what is diff in rendering or anything else?

thanks

Hi,

If you will use the LimitLength in some HTML code, it can happen that the HTML code will be corrupted. The HTMLEncode method ensures that the returned value is valid HTML code so it won't corrupt e.g. the design, etc.
