Cells get automatically converted

I want to store installment details of employees in the format: 9/15,
10/15 etc.. These are text values and are transferred via .NET
application to Excel. But it considers it a date and so converts 9/15
to 15-Sep, 10/15 to 15-Oct. I even searched for options to disable
this, but could not find it. Please help switching this off.

Could you prefix the values with a single quote (')?

Try preformatting the column into which the 9/15 goes, as text before
getting the info via .NET.
