Lets say you have a column in Datagridview that has Negative and Positive Numbers that act as a data.
How can you display numbers with negatives into Open and Close Parenthesis? For example -5.00 will turn to (5.00)
How can I achied that? TYSM

You can set the default format for that column:
DataGridView1.Columns(n).DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#,##0.00;(#,##0.00)"
Some further info on formatting can be found here.
Answering to your comments.
Doing it in SQL add to your query something like this:
SELECT IF(VALUE<0, ABS(VALUE), VALUE)
Or
Doing it in vb.net:
Private Sub dataGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) _
Handles dataGridView1.CellFormatting
If dataGridView1.Columns(e.ColumnIndex).Name.Equals("YOURCOLUMN") Then
If CInt(e.Value) < 0 Then
e.Value = "(" & Math.Abs(e.Value).ToString("N") & ")"
End If
End If
End Sub
