DataGridView Selected Row Move UP and DOWN

Question

private void buttonX8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)//down { DataGridViewX grid = dataGridViewX1; try { int totalRows = grid.Rows.Count; int idx = grid.SelectedCells[0].OwningRow.Index; if (idx == totalRows - 1 ) return; int col = grid.SelectedCells[0].OwningColumn.Index; DataGridViewRowCollection rows = grid.Rows; DataGridViewRow row = rows[idx]; rows.Remove(row); rows.Insert(idx + 1, row); grid.ClearSelection(); grid.Rows[idx + 1].Cells[col].Selected = true;

      private void buttonX8_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)//down
    {
        DataGridViewX grid = dataGridViewX1;
        try
        {
            int totalRows = grid.Rows.Count;
            int idx = grid.SelectedCells[0].OwningRow.Index;
            if (idx == totalRows - 1 )
                return;
            int col = grid.SelectedCells[0].OwningColumn.Index;
            DataGridViewRowCollection rows = grid.Rows;
            DataGridViewRow row = rows[idx];
            rows.Remove(row);
            rows.Insert(idx + 1, row);
            grid.ClearSelection();
            grid.Rows[idx + 1].Cells[col].Selected = true;

        }
        catch { }
    }
