Answer 1

I couldn't get Nitin Sawant's answer to work, but I was able to modify his code to work for me. Essentially I needed to use GetRuntimeFields instead of GetProperties. Here's what I ended up with:

public static class Extensions
{
    public static List ToList(this DataTable table) where T : new()
    {
        IList fields = typeof(T).GetRuntimeFields().ToList();
        List result = new List();
        if (row.Table.Columns.Contains(field.Name))
        {
            foreach (var row in table.Rows)
            {
                var item = CreateItemFromRow((DataRow)row, fields);
                result.Add(item);
            }
        }

        return result;
    }

    private static T CreateItemFromRow(DataRow row, IList fields) where T : new()
    {
        T item = new T();

        foreach (var field in fields)
        {
            if (row[field.Name] == DBNull.Value)
                field.SetValue(item, null);
            else
                field.SetValue(item, row[field.Name]);
        }
        return item;
    }
}
