How to display product description with featuredproductsgrid

[gio50000]

I would like to add the product description to the featured products listing on my home page. With featuredprodctsgrid.aspx what Eval field do I use and how can I limit the content it to 150 characters? Visit http://www.airshowshop.com for a reference if needed.

Thank you,
Gio

You need to make use of Eval("Description"). Read following thread all you need is to replace Summary with Description in that thread

@mazhr - that works but how can I only display the first 100 characters?

Try following

Code: Select all

Eval("Description").ToString().Substring(0,100)

instead of

Code: Select all

Eval("Description")
