                                oCell = dataGridView1[iCol + i, iRow];
                                if (!oCell.ReadOnly)
                                {
                                   
                                   
                             oCell.Value = Convert.ChangeType(sCells[i],

Created a method like below

bool IsvalidEmail(TextBox Email)
        {
                        if (Email.Text.Trim() != "")
            {
 Match rex = Regex.Match(Email.Text.Trim(' '), "^([0-9a-zA-Z]([-.\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z])*@([0-9a-zA-Z]"+
        "[-\\w]*[0-9a-zA-Z]\\.)[a-zA-Z]{2,3})$", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
                if (rex.Success == false)
                {
                    MessageBox.Show("Please Enter a valid Email-Address ",
                    "Information", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
                    Email.Focus();
                    return false;

                {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            else

            {
                return true;

            }
        }

        {
            bool Vaild = IsvalidEmail(txtEmail);
            if (Vaild)
            {
                MessageBox.Show("Email address is Correct");
            }
          
        }

Little Description about REGX

Patter	Description
(@)	Match the @ character. This is the first capturing group.
(.+)	Match one or more occurrences of any character. This is the second               capturing group.
$	End the match at the end of the string.

|(([0-9a-zA-Z]     If the first character is not a quotation mark, match any alphabetic
                            character from a to z or  any numeric character from 0 to 9.

It is very Simple and Easy you just Write Below code on KEY_Press Event of a textbox.

 private void txtCellNumber_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!char.IsNumber(e.KeyChar) && e.KeyChar != (char)Keys.Back && e.KeyChar != '+')
            {
                e.Handled = true;
            }
        }
