Using Reflection to create a DataTable from a Class?

Question

I\'ve just learned about Generics and I\'m wondering whether I can use it to dynamically build datatables from my classes.

Or I might be missing the point here. Here

Answer 1

my favorite homemade function. it create and populate all at same time. throw any object.

 public static DataTable ObjectToData(object o)
 {
    DataTable dt = new DataTable("OutputData");

    DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
    dt.Rows.Add(dr);

    o.GetType().GetProperties().ToList().ForEach(f =>
    {
        try
        {
            f.GetValue(o, null);
            dt.Columns.Add(f.Name, f.PropertyType);
            dt.Rows[0][f.Name] = f.GetValue(o, null);
        }
        catch { }
    });
    return dt;
 }
