angelll is correct. However, if you have no choice in the matter,<br />
string myString = myString.SubString(0, myString.Length - 3);<br />
<br />
will trim the last three characters.<br />

What is the proper syntax to truncate (reduce) a string in C#?<br />

For example:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;myString = &quot;SELECT * FROM table WHERE fieldname = variable AND&quot;<br />
<br />
and I want to cut off the last 3 characters in the string (the &quot;AND&quot;) and make the new value be<br />

Truncating a String in C#

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
