These problems arise from not following best practices for data design. The value should be in one column of the DataGrid. In the SQL Server database, the value should be stored in one column as a Date or Time Data Type. When computing, the DateTime structure method AddMinutes should be used to compute the new value. String formatting should be used to format as hh:mm.

Try:

SQL

SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR, ((Hours*60) + Mins) / 60) + ':' + CONVERT(VARCHAR, Mins % 60) AS [Time] FROM MyTable
