Export to Excel with long number
When I export to Excel, if the data type is long
, the output number will be in scientific notation. I wonder if there is any way to force the export of long to be in string format as well? Or is it possible to provide a option that can control the output format preference?

You can format cell in Excel itself (default one is General, which has no specific number representation). It can be also done via Excel interop.
If the number should be treated as a string, call .ToString() before exporting. Excel will then show you all the digits without trying to format it.
