In this article I am posting code about swapping GridView rows Up and Down using DataTables.
Here is Aspx Code
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" ForeColor="red" Text="Label"></asp:Label> <br /><br />
<asp:GridView ID="Gridviewselectbus" runat="server" Height="87px" Width="771px"
HorizontalAlign="Center" AutoGenerateColumns="False" OnRowCommand="Gridviewselectbus_RowCommand" CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333" GridLines="None">
<RowStyle BorderColor="#999999" HorizontalAlign="Center" VerticalAlign="Middle"
Wrap="True" BackColor="#EFF3FB"/>
<EmptyDataRowStyle BorderColor="#999999" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Lname" HeaderText="Lname" SortExpression="Lname"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Fname" HeaderText="Fname" SortExpression="Fname"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Job" HeaderText="Job" SortExpression="Job"/>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Index" HeaderText="Index" SortExpression="Index" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderStyle Width="3%"/>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnUp" runat="server" border="0" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("index")%>'
CommandName="Up" Height="18px" ImageUrl="images/btn_GreenUP.png" Width="18px"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderStyle Width="3%"/>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton ID="ibtnDown" runat="server" border="0" CommandArgument='<%#Eval("index")%>'
CommandName="Down" Height="18px" ImageUrl="images/btn_GreenDown.png" Width="18px"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
<FooterStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"/>
<PagerStyle BackColor="#2461BF" ForeColor="White" HorizontalAlign="Center"/>
<SelectedRowStyleBackColor="#D1DDF1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="#333333"/>
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#507CD1" Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"/>
<EditRowStyle BackColor="#2461BF" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White"/>
</asp:GridView>
</div>
</form>
Here is C# code
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
public DataTable dt = new DataTable();
public DataTable dtnew = new DataTable();
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)

}
}

The ASP.NET Wiki was started by Scott Hanselman in February of 2008. The idea is that folks spend a lot of time trolling the blogs, googlinglive-searching for answers to common "How To" questions. There's piles of fantastic community-created and MSFT-created content out there, but if it's not found by a search engine and the right combination of keywords, it's often lost.
The ASP.NET Wiki articles moved to CodeProject in October 2013 and will live on, loved, protected and updated by the community.
