The Visual Studio Productivity Power Tools extension adds support for this. It's the "Move Line Up/Down Commands" feature.

With this feature enabled Alt+↑ and Alt+↓ move the current line (or multi-line selection) up or down.

Usually the first thing I do when set up visual studio is install this extension, then turn off all the other rubbish it adds (weird document tabs, scrollbar etc) just for the move up and down

Shift-Alt-T moves the line with the cursor down one line, I'm still trying to figure out how to move it up.

So after a little bit of googling it doesn't seem that VS has a keyboard shortcut to move a line up, which is quite baffling since the do have the above mentioned shortcut to move a line down. Anyway, you're definitely not the only one who wants this functionality and there are a few suggestions to this.

Either install this extension (free): MoveLine extension

Or you could install ReSharper which is really, really nice in my opinion: ReSharper
