Problem in writing from a datagrid to Excel..

[BalagurunathanS]

Hi all..
I have a aspx page with a datagrid holding values in it..I need to write the datagrid values in the excel for which i use the following code..
Private Sub btnexcel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnexcel.Click
Response.Clear()
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment;filename=FileName.xls")
Response.Charset = ""
Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.Public)
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.xls"
Dim stringWrite As New System.IO.StringWriter
Dim htmlwrite As New System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite)
dtgdisplay.RenderControl(htmlwrite)
Response.Write(stringWrite.ToString())
Response.End()
End Sub

Everything is ok..But the datagrid contains column and rows with numeric values(16 digits).So when i write it in excel i am getting them in scientific format..Even when i am formatting the cells ,i couldn't the exact values which are in the datagrid..
Someone help in this regard...
