You cannot convert webcontrol to windows form control. To resolve this refer webcontrol in web application and refer windows control in windows application. see the highligted difference of namespaces below.

Answer is already in your error message...I think your going to assign webControls GridView to windows form DataGridView. Those are very different objects and this kind conversion is cannot be done...
Why don't you try assign Data Source...
If there is a way to load data to your Windows form DataGridView.You can assign it like below

C#

Web.UI.WebControls.GridView gV = new Web.UI.WebControls.GridView();

gV.DataSource= dataTableObject; // data table object

you can assign your System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView data source to this data table object

The message is pretty clear: You are trying to assign a value to a variable that is not capable of holding it. In this case, you are trying to load a GridView into a DataGridView - they are very different classes and not related.

Without the relevant code fragment, there isn't a lot more I can do...
