Here is an example to change email text into hyperlinks, your code should be
pretty much the same.

DataGrid1.DataSource = myTable
DataGrid1.DataBind()
Dim oneDataGridItem As DataGridItem
For Each oneDataGridItem In DataGrid1.Items
Dim emailText As String = oneDataGridItem.Cells(INX_EMAIL).Text.Trim()
If emailText <> "&nbsp;" Then ' Not empty
oneDataGridItem.Cells(INX_EMAIL).Text = "<a href='mailto:" & emailText
& "'>" & emailText & "</a>"
End If
Next
