Convert DataTable to List

Question

I have an strongly typed DataTable of type MyType, I\'d like convert it in a List.

How can I do this ?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Assuming your DataRows inherit from your own type, say MyDataRowType, this should work:

List list = new List();

foreach(DataRow row in dataTable.Rows)
{
    list.Add((MyDataRowType)row);
}

This is assuming, as you said in a comment, that you're using .NET 2.0 and don't have access to the LINQ extension methods.
