How do you convert a DataTable into a generic list?

Question

Currently, I\'m using:

DataTable dt = CreateDataTableInSomeWay();

List list = new List(); 
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)
{
          


        

Answer 1

DataTable.Select() doesnt give the Rows in the order they were present in the datatable.

If order is important I feel iterating over the datarow collection and forming a List is the right way to go or you could also use overload of DataTable.Select(string filterexpression, string sort).

But this overload may not handle all the ordering (like order by case ...) that SQL provides.
