MyDataContext DC = new MyDataContext();

var DS = from a in DC.MyTable select a;

DataTable DT = new DataTable();
DT.Columns.Add("Check", typeof(bool));
DT.Columns.Add("Value", typeof(string));

foreach (var item in DS)
{
    DataRow DR = DT.NewRow();
    DR[0] = false;
    DR[1] = item.Value;
    DT.Rows.Add(DR);
}

MyGridView.DataSource = DT;
