In this article I am posting code about swapping GridView rows Up and Down using Data Tables.
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" />
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#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
