HI,

I am using code similar to the following code to write values into cells in an Excel worksheet:

Code:
 

Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop
Imports Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel


Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlWorkBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim WS As Excel.Worksheet

xlApp = New Excel.Application
xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open(strReportFile)
WS = xlWorkBook.Worksheets("TestReport")


Dim myCell As Range = CType(WS.Cells(1,1), Range)

Dim Value as string = "1234567890"

myCell.Value = Value
It works well except for when the string is a long number as shown above (1234567890).

In this case it displays the number in scientific notation.

The cells in the spreadsheet are formatted as "text" and if I type the number in the cell directly, it goes in as expected.

Any idea why it puts in scientific notation when I do it programatically?

Thanks in advance.
