If you do that, how will you be able to discriminate between negative and positive values? The minus sign carries a meaning, which may or may not be useful, depending on your requirement, which we don't know.

try this, it may fit your requirement
change the -value in the data source

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
           dt.Columns.Add("Calc");
           dt.Rows.Add(-1234567890);
           dt.Rows.Add(-10000);

           dt.Columns.Add("CalcMinusRemoved");
           foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)
           {
               row["CalcMinusRemoved"] =  Convert.ToDouble( row["Calc"]).ToString("#,#", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).Replace("-","");
           }

<asp:BoundField DataField="CalcMinusRemoved" HeaderText="Calc"  />

You could try this format string:

C#

DataFormatString="{0:#,#;#,#}"

You can find more information on custom format strings there:
