I think what the OP is asking is restricting it to a max of 20 characters in length specifically for the auto-complete, so PadLeft and PadRight I think may not be appropriate in this circumstance.

You could use the System.Math.Min function like so:

// the result of the operation on the right will give you the Name as is or truncated
// if it exceeds the 20 character limit
string forAutoCompleteBox = Name.Substring(0, System.Math.Min(20, Name.Length));


This will give you either the first 20 characters of the Name, or the whole Name, whichever is shorter. Did I understand your question correctly?
