DataGrid & DataBind command

I have a data grid and when the user clicks Edit link in
row one of the data columns should change to a drop down
list. Instead I keep getting an error..."Specified cast
is not valid.".

I'm not doing any CASTing myself, but I think its getting
done automatically. The data in the datasource contains
System.Decimal fields. I'm not sure whether that is
being automatically CASTed to a string or not.

Does the Databind() actually convert ALL datatypes to
string or is that something I am supposed to do?

Any additional info on DropDown Lists in the Datagrid
would be helpful as I'm not finding anything online about
it.

THANKS

Jeff
