Format Negative numbers in parenthesis BUT NOT with $ symbol?

Question

I have seen all over the internet to format a NEGATIVE double value with a parenthesis WITH a $ symbol ie. currency type.

I am looking for a .NET format

Answer 1

You can use the FormatNumber function:

FormatNumber(-100, UseParensForNegativeNumbers:=TriState.True)

will return "(100)"
