I was wondering if there was a way to limit the number of characters *shown* (not bound) in a column of a GridDataBoundGrid. I thought I format string might do the trick, but I can''t seem to get one that works.
In my specific application, I want to show the first letter of a person''s first name, and not the entire name itself.

One way you might be able to do this is to handle the DrawCellDisplayText event. In your handler, set e.DisplayText to what you want to see in teh cell. This will not affect anything else except what is shown in the cell.

Okay, but how do I determine what column / row I''m in?
