DataTable to List<object>

Question

How do I take a DataTable and convert it to a List?

I\'ve included some code below in both C# and VB.NET, the issue with both of these is that we create a new object

Answer 1

Why not pass the DataTable into to the function instead of instantiating it? That would simply contain a reference.

That's way too simple an answer too be worthwhile to you I'm sure, but I don't see how it doesn't solve your problem.
