FarPoint.Web.Spread.LabelCellType lblcell = new FarPoint.Web.Spread.LabelCellType();
int i =100;
string fstring = i.ToString("C");
lblcell.FormatString = fstring;
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells[0, 0].CellType = lblcell;
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells[0, 0].Text = fstring;

Dim lblcell As New FarPoint.Web.Spread.LabelCellType()
Dim i As Integer = 100
Dim fstring As String = i.ToString("C")
lblcell.FormatString = fstring
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells(0, 0).CellType = lblcell
FpSpread1.ActiveSheetView.Cells(0, 0).Text = fstring
