Solution 2

use arraylist instead.

C#

arraylist al =new arraylist();
 
foreach(datarow str in dtviruslist.rows)
{
   al.add(str["column_name"].tostring());
// otherwise add to your list ie. viru
}

Hi Thanks for REplying,
i have already gone through with that link, that case is completly different than my case. i have retrieved data from sqldatabase and have added to DataTable and now i wants to add that entire data to string list at one time without using ForEach or ForLoop. I hope you understood .
Keep Smiling :) :) :) happy coding :) .
