DataGridView Selected Row Move UP and DOWN

Question

How can I allow selected rows in a DataGridView (DGV) to be moved up or down. I have done this before with a ListView. Unfortunetly, for me, replacing the DGV is not an opt

Answer 1

This should work. I use a BindingSource instead of binding my List directly to the DataGridView:

    private List items = new List {
        new MyItem {Id = 0, Name = "Hello"},
        new MyItem {Id = 1, Name = "World"},
        new MyItem {Id = 2, Name = "Foo"},
        new MyItem {Id = 3, Name = "Bar"},
        new MyItem {Id = 4, Name = "Scott"},
        new MyItem {Id = 5, Name = "Tiger"},
    };

    private BindingSource bs;
    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        bs = new BindingSource(items, string.Empty);
        dataGridView1.DataSource = bs;
    }

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (bs.Count <= 1) return; // one or zero elements

        int position = bs.Position;
        if (position <= 0) return;  // already at top

        bs.RaiseListChangedEvents = false;

        MyItem current = (MyItem)bs.Current;
        bs.Remove(current);

        position--;

        bs.Insert(position, current);
        bs.Position = position;

        bs.RaiseListChangedEvents = true;
        bs.ResetBindings(false);
    }

    private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (bs.Count <= 1) return; // one or zero elements

        int position = bs.Position;
        if (position == bs.Count - 1) return;  // already at bottom

        bs.RaiseListChangedEvents = false;

        MyItem current = (MyItem)bs.Current;
        bs.Remove(current);

        position++;

        bs.Insert(position, current);
        bs.Position = position;

        bs.RaiseListChangedEvents = true;
        bs.ResetBindings(false);
    }

    public class MyItem
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public String Name { get; set; }
    }
