private static List ConvertDataTable(DataTable dt)  
{  
    List data = new List();  
    foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows)  
    {  
        T item = GetItem(row);  
        data.Add(item);  
    }  
    return data;  
}

private static T GetItem(DataRow dr)  
{  
    Type temp = typeof(T);  
    T obj = Activator.CreateInstance();  

    foreach (DataColumn column in dr.Table.Columns)  
    {  
        foreach (PropertyInfo pro in temp.GetProperties())  
        {  
            if (pro.Name == column.ColumnName)  
                pro.SetValue(obj, dr[column.ColumnName], null);  
            else  
                continue;  
        }  
    }  
    return obj;  
} 

Usage:

List< Student > studentDetails = new List();  
studentDetails = ConvertDataTable(dt);
