How to Change a Gridview Control?

I have a C# ASP.NET project with a gridview. The gridview has a dataset as a datasource.

The grid includes a date field, but when you edit that field, you have to type in the date, and can't select a date since its a textbox.

How will you go about changing the control of a gridview.

This is what I've tried but it didn't work. (Just tried to convert all the textboxes to a calender as a test.

foreach (TableCell cell in grdViewDetails.Rows[e.RowIndex].Cells)
{
   cell.Controls[0] = cell.Controls[0] as Calendar; //This didnt work....
   //do other stuff
}
