I need to convert a query of entity framework to a datatable in order to use Crystal Reports. Seems that CR doesn't allow nullable datatypes, therefore any nullable EF properties cannot be shown on the Report which doesn't work for our needs. So, we need to go back to passing in a datatable as the DataSource to the Crystal Report.
