The C# way, using substring:
string stringtocut = "valuetocut";
stringtocut = stringtocut.Substring(0,10);
After adding a reference in your project to “Microsoft.Visualbasic” under NET tab:
using Microsoft.Visualbasic;
string stringtocut = "valuetocut";
Strings.Left(stringtocut,10);
See reference below if you’d alternatively like to save a few keystrokes and create your own generic re-usable function called “Left” in C# using substring.
