Answer 1

This is a old post, but post only to help other persons ;)

Example to convert any object type:

public List Select(string filterParam)
{    
    DataTable dataTable = new DataTable()

    //{... implement filter to fill dataTable }

    List> rows = new List>();
    Dictionary row;

    foreach (DataRow dr in dataTable.Rows)
    {
        row = new Dictionary();
        foreach (DataColumn col in dataTable.Columns)
        {
            row.Add(col.ColumnName, dr[col]);
        }
        rows.Add(row);
    }

    string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(rows);

    using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json)))
    {
        DataContractJsonSerializer deserializer = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(T[]));
        var tick = (T[])deserializer.ReadObject(stream);
        return tick.ToList();
    }
}
