Returning datatable using entity framework

Question

I am using entity framework. There is one particular situation in my application where I have to use a stored procedure. Since there are a lot of SQL statements written in t

Answer 1

This example will return a datatable object selecting data from EntityFramework.

I believe this is the best solution to the goal. However the problem with this solution is that each record is enumerated. You might want to filter the list first then run this from the list to avoid that.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
(from rec in database.Table.AsEnumerable()
                     select new
                     {
                         id = rec.id,
                         name = rec.Name
                         //etc
                     }).Aggregate(table, (dt, r) =>
                     {
                         dt.Rows.Add(r.id, r.Name);
                         return dt;
                     });
