   // Obtain the Price column. 
   DevExpress.XtraGrid.Columns.GridColumn col = View.Columns.ColumnByFieldName("Price");
   if (col == null) return;
   View.BeginSort();
   try {
      // Obtain the number of data rows. 
      int dataRowCount = View.DataRowCount;
      // Traverse data rows and change the Price field values. 
      for (int i = 0; i < dataRowCount; i++) {
         object cellValue = View.GetRowCellValue(i, col);
         double newValue = Convert.ToDouble(cellValue) * 0.9;
         View.SetRowCellValue(i, col, newValue);
      }
   } finally { View.EndSort(); }
}
