title: asp .net dropdownlist trim data
body: <p>In the asp.net dropdownlist i need to trim the data inside the list. e.g if my drop down has 10 records in it and i only want to show the first 20 chars of each record, then how do i do it?. Also if records are only 10 chars then from 20 chars the dropdownlist should automatically resize to 10 chars. any ideas?</p>
