Hi, I have a dataset and i want to export it to excel. Problem is while one of the datacolumn contains negative value and i want that column value to be shown in brackets in excel.
In the dataset (datatable view) its getting displayed correctly. i.e. (21,000) But in the excel, its coming as -21,000 but i want it in (21,000) format. Here is the piece of code which i am using... ********************* HttpResponse response = HttpContext.Current.Response; response.Clear(); response.Charset = string.Empty; string filename = "test.xls"; response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"; response.AddHeader(Constant.CONTENT_DISPOSITION, "attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "\""); using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) { using (HtmlTextWriter htw = new HtmlTextWriter(sw)) { System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid dg = new System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid(); dg.Font.Name = "verdana"; dg.Font.Size = 10; dg.HeaderStyle.Font.Bold = true; dg.HeaderStyle.ForeColor = Color.SteelBlue; dg.DataSource = DATASET; dg.DataBind(); dg.RenderControl(htw); response.Write(sw.ToString()); response.End(); } } ********************** Please suggest something...
