How about giving us more info on what you are trying to do? Throw me a bone , I'm the boss, need the info .

Of course you cannot cast it, because cell is not Control. Who told you it is?
You should not "fix" it; you should not do it at all.

And please stop posting your fake answers ("I got it", and the like). I removed all of them but one.

"Add your solution here" is reserved for the cases when you at least try to provide some help, in response to some question. Doing so will bring your nothing but down-voted and abuse reports. You don't want it, so I only helped you by removing them. Several more heavy abusers already lost their membership account because of their abuse.

Thank you for understanding.

Look at the inheritance table for this class[^]. The DataGridViewTextBoxCell does not inherit from Control so you cannot cast it so.
