You need to pick up a book on Entity Framework.

You don't get EF to give you a DataTable. It also doesn't work with a database view without hacking it together.

EF returns data in a DbSet attached to your DbContext. You Don't get to specify a custom query and have it returned to you any way you want.

If You want the data in a datatable, you'll have write the code to build the datatable yourself and populate it from the data returned by the DbSet.
