不幸的是，字符串上没有Truncate()方法。你必须自己写出这种逻辑。然而，你能做的是把它包装在一个扩展方法中，这样你就不必到处复制它:

public static class StringExt
{
    public static string Truncate(this string value, int maxLength)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(value)) return value;
        return value.Length <= maxLength ? value : value.Substring(0, maxLength); 
    }
}

现在我们可以这样写:

var someString = "...";
someString = someString.Truncate(2);

可选的后缀和c#8可空引用类型。

public static class StringExt
{
    public static string? Truncate(this string? value, int maxLength, string truncationSuffix = "…")
    {
        return value?.Length > maxLength
            ? value.Substring(0, maxLength) + truncationSuffix
            : value;
    }
}

写:

"abc".Truncate(2);          // "ab…"
"abc".Truncate(3);          // "abc"
((string)null).Truncate(3); // null

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。

所有其他答案都没有考虑到Span的性能，它比。net中字符串类型的Substring的性能更好

如果你还不知道有一个版本的系统。内存(为以下情况提供了Span, ReadOnlySpan, Memory和ReadOnlyMemory:

这样的简单实现可以如下所示:

public static string Truncate(this string value, int maxLength)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(value) && value.Length > maxLength)
    {
        return value.AsSpan(0, maxLength).ToString(); /* Note the use of AsSpan instead of Substring. */
    }

    return value;
}

该方法理论上可以返回Span<char>，以避免使用Span<T>的ToString()成员分配新字符串。

The BCL itself internally uses Span's, ReadOnlySpan's, Memory's, and ReadOnlyMemory's where possible to avoid issues and to help optimize the code, especially when you compile arrays that are known at compile time and so using an property that returns that new'd up array as an ReadOnlySpan<byte> actually optimizes the code at runtime as then the JIT would not call memcpy on the data and instead uses it since it just returns a Span and as such is a window to the data that is already allocated ahead of time resulting in:

更少的分配。 更少的分配时间。 使代码总体上更快地使用。

这是一个vb.net解决方案，标记if(虽然丑陋)语句提高性能，因为当字符串已经小于maxlength时，我们不需要substring语句… 通过使它成为字符串的扩展，它很容易使用…

 <System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Extension()> _
    Public Function Truncate(String__1 As String, maxlength As Integer) As String
        If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(String__1) AndAlso String__1.Length > maxlength Then
            Return String__1.Substring(0, maxlength)
        Else
            Return String__1
        End If
    End Function

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;
}

我的观点是，例子长度为30:

  var truncatedInput = string.IsNullOrEmpty(input) ? 
      string.Empty : 
      input.Substring(0, Math.Min(input.Length, 30));
