Property Value

String containing the format
Remarks

The value of a general cell can be a string, a number, or a DateTime object. The general cell does not support a format string using "r" or "R".

The formats supported are the NumberFormatInfo object and the DateTimeFormatInfo object that can be found in the Microsoft .NET framework SDK documentation. Discussion of these formats are in the numeric formats and date-time formats topics in the Microsoft .NET Developer's Guide.

Example
This example specifies the format string used to format the date value.
FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.GeneralCellType genlcell = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.GeneralCellType();
genlcell.FormatString = "dd/MM/yyyy";
genlcell.IsDateFormat = true;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].CellType = genlcell;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Value = DateTime.Now;
Dim genlcell As New FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.GeneralCellType()
genlcell.FormatString = "dd/MM/yyyy"
genlcell.IsDateFormat = True
FpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells(0, 0).CellType = genlcell
