Converting DataTable to Generic Dictionary

public static Dictionary> DataTable2Dictionary(DataTable dt)
{
    Dictionary> dict = new Dictionary>();

    foreach(DataColumn column in dt.Columns)
    {
        IList ts = dt.AsEnumerable()
                              .Select(r => r.Field(column.ToString()))
                              .ToList();
        dict.Add(column, ts);
    }
    return dict;
}
