You can set the datatable as a datasource to many elements.

For eg

gridView

repeater

datalist

etc etc

If you need to extract data from each row then you can use

table.rows[rowindex][columnindex]

or

if you know the column name

table.rows[rowindex][columnname]

If you need to iterate the table then you can either use a for loop or a foreach loop like

for ( int i = 0; i < table.rows.length; i ++ )
{
    string name = table.rows[i]["columnname"].ToString();
}

foreach ( DataRow dr in table.Rows )
{
    string name = dr["columnname"].ToString();
}
