Why substring?

You can use css to control the words, and set the title to the full text at the same time.

.ellipsis-body{
    white-space: nowrap;
    overflow: hidden;
    -o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

Hopes to help you.

You need to set a width firstly.

You should be able to do something like this...

<asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server" DataSourceID="NewDataSource">
    <ItemTemplate>
           <%# Eval("Title") %><br />
           <%# Eval("PostDate","{0:dd-MMM-yyyy}")%><br/>
           <%# Regex.Replace(Eval("Body").toString(), "<.*?>", "").Substring(0, 10) & " ..." %> 
           <a href="">Read More</a><br />
        <hr />
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

you found a code in JS but you write currently in asp net C# or VB. Please see my update, where you can simply remove all html tags.
