Example
This example shows the use of this method for a currency cell but the use is similar for any cell type.

FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CurrencyCellType curr = new FarPoint.Win.Spread.CellType.CurrencyCellType();
curr.DecimalSeparator = ",";
curr.DecimalPlaces = 3;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].CellType = curr;
fpSpread1.ActiveSheet.Cells[0, 0].Value = 443.0908;
string fileName; 
fileName = "..\\files\\mycurr.xml"; 
System.IO.Stream stream;  
stream = System.IO.File.Open(fileName, System.IO.FileMode.Create); 
System.Xml.XmlTextWriter writer = new System.Xml.XmlTextWriter(stream, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

writer.WriteStartElement("Currency");
