Bind DataTable from the List

Hi,

Here Data in the list is converted into Datatable buy using Generic DataType as <T>, in Some cases list can’t perform all the operations like grid in Such Cases we need to transfer data from List to Datatable with the code below.

public DataTable ListToDataTable<T>(List<T> items)

    {

        DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(typeof(T).Name);

        PropertyInfo[] Properties = typeof(T).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);

        foreach (PropertyInfo propInfo in Properties)

        {

            dataTable.Columns.Add(propInfo.Name);

        }

        foreach (T item in items)

        {

            var values = new object[Properties.Length];

            for (int i = 0; i < Properties.Length; i++)

            {

                values[i] = Properties[i].GetValue(item, null);

            }

            dataTable.Rows.Add(values);

        }

        return dataTable;

    }

private void Testing()

 {

     List<Model> listTest = data.getData(2002);//this getData() will fill my list

     DataTable table = ListToDataTable(listTest);

 }
