Ok this may be a bit of a newbie question but here goes anyway:
I have a field in a database which contains 5000 characters, I want to display a particular amount of these characters (say 100) in a template column of a datagrid. Then after them provide a link which when clicked loads a new page which displays the full amount of characters (a click to read more link). What would be the best way of displaying just 100 of the characters?
Thanks for any help in advance
