Answer 1

please try this code:

public List ConvertToList(DataTable dt)
{
    var columnNames = dt.Columns.Cast()
        .Select(c => c.ColumnName)
        .ToList();
    var properties = typeof(T).GetProperties();
    return dt.AsEnumerable().Select(row =>
    {
        var objT = Activator.CreateInstance();
        foreach (var pro in properties)
        {
            if (columnNames.Contains(pro.Name))
                pro.SetValue(objT, row[pro.Name]);
        }
        return objT;
    }).ToList();
}
