In Windows form application with Datagridview tool - button click event

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string google = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData) + @"\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\History";
        string fileName = DateTime.Now.Ticks.ToString();
        File.Copy(google, Application.StartupPath + "\\" + fileName);
        using (SQLiteConnection con = new SQLiteConnection("DataSource = " + Application.StartupPath + "\\" + fileName + ";Versio=3;New=False;Compress=True;"))
        {
            con.Open();
            //SQLiteDataAdapter da = new SQLiteDataAdapter("select url,title,visit_count,last_visit_time from urls order by last_visit_time desc", con);
            SQLiteDataAdapter da = new SQLiteDataAdapter("select * from urls order by last_visit_time desc", con);
            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            da.Fill(ds);
            dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
            con.Close();
        }
        try // File already open error is skipped
        {
          if (File.Exists(Application.StartupPath + "\\" + fileName))
             File.Delete(Application.StartupPath + "\\" + fileName);
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
        }
    }
