Answer 1

First of all, you're on the right track, but you should be thinking in terms of IEnumerable rather than List. And here is how you would do that:

 var myData = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                  .Select(r => new {column1 = r[0].ToString(), 
                                    column2 = r[1].ToString() 
                                    /*etc*/
                          });

Never convert an IEnumerable to a List before you absolutely need to.
