I might be wrong and this might not be what you asking for but to swap rows don't you just have to click on the gird go to the little play button on the top right and go into properity builer, then go into columns and change them there....Like i said this might not be what you asking for but I tryed.

This isn't a simple question.

How are you currently populating the datagrid?

It's when you're populating the datagrid that you'll add the dropDownList to each row.

Every time you add a new row to the dataGrid, you will have to repopulate both the dropDownList and the dataGrid.

Have you considered maybe not using a dropDownList and using the "Edit" function instead?
Have a column displaying the row number of each row and then allow the person to edit this value to indicate what row they would like to swap it with. This way you could have the function that handles the dataGrid's edit-update event do the switching for you.

You might want to start there and then do some experimenting with the dropDownList later.

Doing one thing at a time always makes life easier.

Good luck.

In my form i have two textboxes one add button and a datagrid inside that grid there is three template column one is a drop down list and two textbox.In the first text box i can enter value and if i press the add button it will be entered in the databse and shown in the datagrid at the same time. in the dropdown list i want the full listing of the count of rows eg: if i had five rows the values in side the dropdownlist should be like 1,2,3,4,5 like wise if i had added one more row so there is 6 now the count is 1,2,3,4,5,6 this ll be filled on each rows of the datagrid. why i am keeping this is to set the priority of the rows that are added if supose i want to display the 4th step as the 1st step i want to interchange the contents of the text boxs in both rows through the change in the value of dropdownlist
