Hi Can,

Can you please make sure you have properly registered the Trunkate control? Please find below its default implementation, you should add a class Trunkate.cs in a folder Tools in your SitefinityWebApp.

using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

namespace SitefinityWebApp.Tools

public class Truncate : Literal

public int Length

get

return _length;

set

_length = value;

protected override void CreateChildControls()

if (Text != null || Text.Length > Length)

// Don't truncate in the midst of a word

int iNextSpace = Text.LastIndexOf(" ", Length);

Text = string.Format("0...", Text.Substring(0, (iNextSpace > 0) ? iNextSpace : Length).Trim());

base.CreateChildControls();

private int _length = 20;
