FarPoint.Web.Spread.DateTimeCellType dct = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.DateTimeCellType();
dct.DateTimeFormat = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
dct.FormatString = "yyyy/MM/dd";
dct.EditMode.DateTimeFormat = new System.Globalization.DateTimeFormatInfo();
dct.EditMode.FormatString = "yyyy.MM.dd";
FpSpread1.Sheets[0].Columns[1].CellType = dct;
