Text trimming in Windows Phone 7

can somebody explain me how do I use the code in here http://nerdplusart.com/texttrimming-textblock-for-silverlight to trim texts?

I've been searching for a solution to trim my texts to a determined lenght and add an ellipsis to the end, but I only find links to that code that I don't know how to use!

Thank you very much

Solution

  • You just use it as you would and instead of a TextBlock.
    So (assuming you save that source as is into your app):

    <PixelLab:DynamicTextBlock Text="some really really really really really long text that won't fit on a line" />

    And be sure to set the appropriate namepace:

    xmlns:PixelLab="clr-namespace:PixelLab"
