Displaying a very long folder path

Hi all. I'm sure there are loads of articles and examples on the net for what I'm trying to do but I don't know what you would call it and consequently I'm not sure what to Google for.

I'm trying to simplify a file path to something that will fit into a certain number of characters. I think I can best explain by using an example.

Let's say I have a file path as follows:
C:\Documents and Settings\My Name\My Documents\Work Documents\Business Plan.doc

but I have only limited space to display this path. I'm not overly concerned that the user should be able to read the full path (although I can do that by providing a ToolTip or putting the full path in the StatusStrip or whatever) but I would like for the user to get a general impression of where the path points.

I am in other words looking for a result along the lines of:
C:\Docum...\...\Business Plan.doc

If you have any suggestions for articles or examples on the net that deal with this I'd be happy to hear. Also, the above sample result is what I quickly came up with but there may be more sensible ways of stripping down long paths to something shorter. Please let me know if you have any advice.

Only took me 10 minutes to knock this together - close enough?

<br />
        private static string TruncatePath(string path, int chars)<br />
        {<br />
            if (path.Length < chars)<br />
                return path;<br />
            string drive = path.Substring(0, path.IndexOf('\\') + 1);<br />
            string fileName = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf('\\'));<br />
            if ((fileName.Length + drive.Length) > chars)<br />
                return drive + "..." + fileName.Substring((fileName.Length + drive.Length) -(chars + 3));<br />
            else<br />
            {<br />
                return drive + path.Substring(drive.Length, chars - (drive.Length + fileName.Length)) + "..." + fileName;<br />
            }          <br />
        }<br />

It definitely isn't definatley

Excellent stuff! That's exactly what I had been looking for. It wasn't really necessary to actually go and write the code but I appreciate the effort and your 10 minutes certainly saved me more than just 10 minutes.

I was curious actually whether there wasn't some class in the .NET framework that could achieve this. It turns out there is, TextRenderer.MeasureText and TextFormatFlags.PathEllipsis but that is when you render the text graphically. Your function is simple and elegant and does exactly what I wanted to do.

Hi.
In a report (rdl) I have a contract text that is about 3 A4 pages.
When I put the text in report, it only fills the odd pages. i.e. for 3 pages it produces 6 pages which pages 2,4,6 are blank.
What should I do to fix this problem?

Best wishes

When I open the project I get the following errors:

It is mentioned in the article in your later posts,

Developing with VSTO requires a version of Visual Studio greater than Express Edition. The current beta of Visual Studio can be downloaded from http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/get/. Of course, Microsoft Office Professional 2003 (Service Pack 1) is also a requirement for this article, 
or at least Outlook 2003 SP1. Be aware that Outlook Express will not function as a replacement for Outlook.

You need VSTO[^] since you already have VS2005. Verify which version you need but, i guess it depends on which office version you have on your machine.

staticv25-Feb-09 3:35

I installed .NET Framework 3.5, VSTO, I have Office 2007 so for that I installed VSTO SE.

But still it isn't working Frown | :(
