How do I handle a long text in DropDownList?

How long should dropdown be?
Avoid dropdowns for more than 10 options or less than 5
There are three main issues with dropdowns that have such a large number of options: no overview – seeing more than 20 uncategorized options can be confusing and intimidating to users, making it difficult for them to find the input they need.
What can I use instead of a dropdown?
If your intention is to provide users with a way to turn a feature on or off, a dropdown is not the best option. Instead, opt for a toggle or switch. They make the current state clear, and changing the state requires less effort than clicking a dropdown and selecting the desired outcome.
What is the difference between listbox and DropDownList?
A standard list box is a box containing a list of multiple items, with multiple items visible. A drop-down list is a list in which the selected item is always visible, and the others are visible on demand by clicking a drop-down button.
