Convert Generic List To Dataset

[contactshree]

Thanks for the reply. This is my first post, I missed it.

         public static DataTable ConvertTo<T>(IList<T> genericList)
        {
            //create DataTable Structure
            DataTable dataTable = CreateTable<T>();
            Type entType = typeof(T);
            PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(entType);
            //get the list item and add into the list
            foreach (T item in genericList)
            {
                DataRow row = dataTable.NewRow();
                foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
                {
                    row[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item);
                }
                dataTable.Rows.Add(row);
            }
            return dataTable;
        }

        public static DataTable CreateTable<T>()
        {
            //T –> ClassName
            Type entType = typeof(T);
            //set the datatable name as class name
            DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(entType.Name);
            //get the property list
            PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(entType);
            foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in properties)
            {
                //add property as column
                dataTable.Columns.Add(prop.Name, prop.PropertyType);
            }
            return dataTable;
        }
