Try This ...

    public DataTable getDiffRecords(DataTable dtDataOne, DataTable dtDataTwo)
    {
        DataTable returnTable = new DataTable("returnTable");

        using (DataSet ds = new DataSet())
        {
            ds.Tables.AddRange(new DataTable[] { dtDataOne.Copy(), dtDataTwo.Copy() });

            DataColumn[] firstColumns = new DataColumn[ds.Tables[0].Columns.Count];
            for (int i = 0; i < firstColumns.Length; i++)
            {
                firstColumns[i] = ds.Tables[0].Columns[i];
            }

            DataColumn[] secondColumns = new DataColumn[ds.Tables[1].Columns.Count];
            for (int i = 0; i < secondColumns.Length; i++)
            {
                secondColumns[i] = ds.Tables[1].Columns[i];
            }

            DataRelation r1 = new DataRelation(string.Empty, firstColumns, secondColumns, false);
            ds.Relations.Add(r1);

            DataRelation r2 = new DataRelation(string.Empty, secondColumns, firstColumns, false);
            ds.Relations.Add(r2);

            for (int i = 0; i < dtDataOne.Columns.Count; i++)
            {
                returnTable.Columns.Add(dtDataOne.Columns[i].ColumnName, dtDataOne.Columns[i].DataType);
            }

            returnTable.BeginLoadData();
            foreach (DataRow parentrow in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
            {
                DataRow[] childrows = parentrow.GetChildRows(r1);
                if (childrows == null || childrows.Length == 0)
                    returnTable.LoadDataRow(parentrow.ItemArray, true);
            }

            foreach (DataRow parentrow in ds.Tables[1].Rows)
            {
                DataRow[] childrows = parentrow.GetChildRows(r2);
                if (childrows == null || childrows.Length == 0)
                    returnTable.LoadDataRow(parentrow.ItemArray, true);
            }
            returnTable.EndLoadData();
        }
        return returnTable;
    }
