Hi Senthil, You can use GridView's RowDataBound Event for your task. The RowDataBound Event is raised while binding each and every row from DataSource. Here you can check the string length and do the stuff you want to do on it.
protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e) { if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) { // Suppose 4th Cell has your huge Text if (e.Row.Cells[3].Text.Length > 150) { // Write Truncating Logic Here } } }I Hope This Helps. :) Thanks, Padmanabh -

HI Senthil Use this code in Aspx page inside gridview Column Heading <%#FormatString(Eval("ColumnName").ToString(),20)%> in .cs file just write down this function public string FormatString(string strval, int length) { string temp = strval; if (temp.Length > length) temp = temp.Substring(0, length - 3) + "..."; return temp; } Just guese here I am passing 20 as a lenth variable so it will add ... if string is more than 20 characters http://techiefromsurat.blogspot.com/

use css style for table Cell. this can be added from server side while rendering the grid cell. style.textOverflow = 'ellipsis' Or you can iterate the grid cells as TD , set the below attribute to the TD. TDCell.style.textOverflow = 'ellipsis'
