You should see MSDN's page on customizing the grid view[^]

That said you could simply do (within the templatefield -> ItemTemplate)

<%# Eval("ColumnContainingInt").ToString() %>

Could you put the code you used in the rowdatabound cause this best getway to do what ever you want , here an Ex:

protected void OnRowDataBound(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
   GridViewRowEventArgs ea = e as GridViewRowEventArgs;
     if (ea.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
     {
         DataRowView drv = ea.Row.DataItem as DataRowView;
         Object ob = drv["Phone"];
         if (!Convert.IsDBNull(ob))
         {
             Int64 iParsedValue = 0;
             if (Int64.TryParse(ob.ToString(), out iParsedValue))
             {

                 TableCell cell = ea.Row.Cells[4];
                 cell.Text = String.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture, 
                    "{0:(###) ###-####}", new object[] { iParsedValue });
             }
         }
     }
 }
