Hi Jeet!

Create helper method for remove exceede string from fixed lenght

```
@helper Truncate(string input, int length)        {            if (input.Length <= length)            {        @input            }            else            {        @input.Substring(0, length)<text>...</text>            }    }
```

Use this method in place of your [MVC](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/155803/define-cache-profile-in-mvc) control

@Truncate(item.Description, 30)
