Stripping out characters...
I have a dropdownlist box that displays a "LotNumber" and I need to stripout the last two characters. e.g.
Example LotNumber = 301C0M030701-A-2
I need the dropdownlist box to display:
301C0M030701-A
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

or you can just use a left() operation in your query if this data is being returned from a sqlserver etc
Just an idea for you.
You could place the text in a custom object and then override the ToString() method to perform the above string operations. This would allow you to take the text from the database and store it directly in an object and then place it in a control and get exactly the output you want.
