Reorder a winforms listbox using drag and drop?

Here’s a quick down and dirty app. Basically I created a Form with a button and a ListBox. On button click, the ListBox gets populated with the date of the next 20 days (had to use something just for testing). Then, it allows drag and drop within the ListBox for reordering:

    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.listBox1.AllowDrop = true;
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 0; i <= 20; i++)
            {
                this.listBox1.Items.Add(DateTime.Now.AddDays(i));
            }
        }

        private void listBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            if (this.listBox1.SelectedItem == null) return;
            this.listBox1.DoDragDrop(this.listBox1.SelectedItem, DragDropEffects.Move);
        }

        private void listBox1_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
        {
            e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;
        }

        private void listBox1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
        {
            Point point = listBox1.PointToClient(new Point(e.X, e.Y));
            int index = this.listBox1.IndexFromPoint(point);
            if (index < 0) index = this.listBox1.Items.Count-1;
            object data = e.Data.GetData(typeof(DateTime));
            this.listBox1.Items.Remove(data);
            this.listBox1.Items.Insert(index, data);
        }
