Hello Hamza,

If the column is not auto-generated from data source binding, you should go through the code and replace it. If the column is generated when you set your data source, you can simply change the data type of the property in your data source from string to integer. This will force the grid to generate GridViewDecimalColumn instead of GridViewTextBoxColumn for this property.

Best wishes,
