C#

public class BadgeFormatProvider : MarkupExtension, IFormatProvider, ICustomFormatter {
   static readonly Regex formatExpression = new Regex(@"length(\d+)", RegexOptions.Compiled);

   public object GetFormat(Type formatType) { return this; }
   public override object ProvideValue(IServiceProvider serviceProvider) { return this; }
   public string Format(string format, object arg, IFormatProvider formatProvider) {
       if(arg==null)
           return String.Empty;

       var match = formatExpression.Match(format);
       if(!match.Success)
           return String.Format(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, format ?? "{0}", arg);

       var length = int.Parse(match.Groups[1].Value);
       var inputString = Convert.ToString(arg);
       if (inputString.Length <= length)
           return inputString;

       if (decimal.TryParse(inputString, out _))
           return (Math.Pow(10, length) - 1) + "+";

       return inputString.Substring(0, length) + "...";
   }
