The Remove method is a nice alternative to substring method
For example,
string strStringToTruncate = “This is a beautiful house”;
string strTruncatedString = strStringToTruncate.Remove(5,10);
Console.Write(strTruncatedString);
strTruncatedString = strStringToTruncate.Remove(5);
Console.Write(strTruncatedString);
strTruncatedString = strStringToTruncate.Remove(0,5);
Console.Write(strTruncatedString);
The result
“This iful house”
“This”
“is a beautiful house”

The method removes a number of characters based on a start index.
