綁定到緩存的字符串數組時如何操作DropDownList DataTextField

Question

我有一個綁定到緩存的字符串[]的下拉列表，就像這樣...

Cache["elems"] = items.elems;   //typeOf(items.elems)=string[]
DropDownList1.DataSource = Cache["elems"];
DropDownList1.DataBind();

我想限制DropDownList1中顯示的文本的長度，例如，名為“ Manufacturing”的元素將顯示“ Manufact ...”並具有值“ Manufacturing”

這個怎么做？

多虧了Mihai Caracostea，我才結束了這個...

    protected void DropDownList1_DataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        foreach (ListItem myItem in DropDownList1.Items)
        {
            try
            {
                if (myItem.Text.Length > 8)
                    myItem.Text = myItem.Text.Substring(0, 11) + "...";
            }
            catch (ArgumentOutOfRangeException ex) 
            { 
                //do nothing
            }
        }
    }
