Try to take 5 words while binding the text. in your aspx page <asp:Label ID="lblMyCustom" runat="server" Text='<%# GetCustomText(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ActualStringPropertyName")) %>'></asp:Label> in code behind file , just create a method called GetCustomText which takes an object as parameter and returns a string having five words. protected string GetCustomText(object actual) { //Write your logic here to get some words // and return a string. } Thanks, Debata Umeshdwivedi, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Hi Umesh,

in your aspx page

<asp:Label ID="lblMyCustom" runat="server" Text='<%# GetCustomText(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ActualStringPropertyName")) %>'></asp:Label>

in code behind file , just create a method called GetCustomText which takes an object as parameter and returns a string having five words.

protected string GetCustomText(object actual)

    {

        //Write your logic here to get some words

       // and return a string.

    }

Thanks,
Debata
