Tiny way to get the first 25 characters

Question

Can anyone think of a nicer way to do the following:

public string ShortDescription
{
    get { return this.Description.Length <= 25 ? this.Description :          


        

Answer 1

without .... this should be the shortest :

public string ShortDescription
{
    get { return Microsoft.VisualBasic.Left(this.Description;}
}
