In my case needed also to add a name to all columns of the new table. I wrote a function to generate a transposed table like this:

static public DataTable Transpose(DataTable inputTable, List newColumnNames)
{
    DataTable outputTable = new DataTable();

    ///You should also verify if newColumnsNames.Count matches inputTable number of row

    //Creates the columns, using the provided column names.
    foreach (var newColumnName in newColumnNames)
    {
        outputTable.Columns.Add(newColumnName, typeof(string));
    }

    foreach (DataColumn inputColumn in inputTable.Columns)
    {
        //For each old column we generate a row in the new table
        DataRow newRow = outputTable.NewRow();

        //Looks in the former header row to fill in the first column
        newRow[0] = inputColumn.ColumnName.ToString();

        int counter = 1;
        foreach (DataRow row in inputTable.Rows)
        {
            newRow[counter] = row[inputColumn.ColumnName].ToString();
            counter++;
        }
        outputTable.Rows.Add(newRow);
    }

    return outputTable;

}
