I have a drop down list box, and I want to limit the number of
characters displayed in the Text Field. I want to use the
DataTextFormatString if at all possible. In some programming languages
the format can be used to limit the number of characters formatted. Is
this possible in C#.

I know there a multiple ways of implementing this, however for reasons
I don't want to go into detail, I want to use the format function.

thanks in advance.
