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...

Thanks.
