how to set the length in an xml file?



I need to set the length of the ContractId field to 25 max. how can I do that?
in other way can I use the substring and how can I use I tried to use it but it works find when the field has value but when the field has no value it throws error so I wonder how can I use substring without causing this error.


new XElement(ns + "projectInfo",
new XElement(ns + "awardingBody", string.Empty),
new XElement(ns + "contractAgencyID", String.Empty),
new XElement(ns + "contractAgency", IsLcpCertified ? (certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.IsSub == true ?
certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.PrimeContractorName : certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.AwardingAgency) :
certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.PrimeContractorId == null ? accountName : certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.PrimeContractor.Name),
new XElement(ns + "projectName", ""),
new XElement(ns + "projectID", certStatusRecord.Project.DIRProjectId),
new XElement(ns + "awardingBodyID", ""),
new XElement(ns + "projectNum", ""),
new XElement(ns + "contractID", **certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.ContractId**),
new XElement(ns + "projectLocation",
new XElement(ns + "description", ""),
new XElement(ns + "street", ""),
new XElement(ns + "city", ""),
new XElement(ns + "county", ""),
new XElement(ns + "state", ""),
new XElement(ns + "zip", ""))),
new XElement(ns + "payrollInfo",
new XElement(ns + "statementOfNP", certStatusRecord.Performing == "YES" ? false : true),






Please show us what you tried, and the error you got when you tried it. Also tell us the data type of certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.ContractId.

certStatusRecord.ContractorProject.ContractId






Are you using a schema? String.Empty should work when there is no schema. So the error must be coming from a schema.
