TruncateString

public static string _TruncateString(string input, int charaterlimit)
{
    int characterLimit = charaterlimit;
    string output = input;

    // Check if the string is longer than the allowed amount
    // otherwise do nothing
    if (output.Length > characterLimit && characterLimit > 0)
    {
        // cut the string down to the maximum number of characters
        output = output.Substring(0, characterLimit);
        // Check if the character right after the truncate point was a space
        // if not, we are in the middle of a word and need to remove the rest of it
        if (input.Substring(output.Length, 1) != " ")
        {
            int LastSpace = output.LastIndexOf(" ");

            // if we found a space then, cut back to that space
            if (LastSpace != -1)
            {
                output = output.Substring(0, LastSpace);
            }
        }
        // Finally, add the "..."
        output += "...";
    }
    return output;
}

2016年c#字符串仍然没有截断方法。 但是-使用c# 6.0语法:

public static class StringExtension
{
  public static string Truncate(this string s, int max) 
  { 
    return s?.Length > max ? s.Substring(0, max) : s ?? throw new ArgumentNullException(s); 
  }
}

它就像一个魔法:

"Truncate me".Truncate(8);
Result: "Truncate"

在。net 4.0中，你可以使用Take方法:

string.Concat(myString.Take(maxLength));

没有测试效率!

为什么不:

string NormalizeLength(string value, int maxLength)
{
    //check String.IsNullOrEmpty(value) and act on it. 
    return value.PadRight(maxLength).Substring(0, maxLength);
}

即在事件值中。Length < maxLength填充空格到末尾或截断多余部分。

截断字符串

public static string TruncateText(string strText, int intLength)
{
    if (!(string.IsNullOrEmpty(strText)))
    {                                
        // split the text.
        var words = strText.Split(' ');

        // calculate the number of words
        // based on the provided characters length 
        // use an average of 7.6 chars per word.
        int wordLength = Convert.ToInt32(Math.Ceiling(intLength / 7.6));

        // if the text is shorter than the length,
        // display the text without changing it.
        if (words.Length <= wordLength)
            return strText.Trim();                

        // put together a shorter text
        // based on the number of words
        return string.Join(" ", words.Take(wordLength)) + " ...".Trim();
    }
        else
        {
            return "";
        }            
    }

以@CaffGeek为例进行简化:

public static string Truncate(this string value, int maxLength)
    {
        return string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) ? value : value.Substring(0, Math.Min(value.Length, maxLength));
    }
