The underlying field in the row is already an int (or whatever), it's just stored as an object type (that's how the row can store all the various types). You have to cast it back to it's original type. Hover over this section in the debugger (or just paste it in the watch window) and you can see the original type. It's probably something like decimal or float instead of an int.
