Answer 1

To assign the DataTable rows to the generic List of class

  List temp = new List();//List that holds the Candidate Class,
    //Note:The Candidate class contains RollNo,Name and Department
    //tb is DataTable
    temp = (from DataRow dr in tb.Rows
                        select new Candidate()
                        {
                            RollNO = Convert.ToInt32(dr["RollNO"]),
                            Name = dr["Name"].ToString(),
                            Department = dr["Department"].ToString(),

                        }).ToList();
