Why not loop around the datatable and construct an arraylist all by yourself. You can use contains method to check for duplicate. You can then use the resulting arraylist. You can use String.split to break your Itemset.

hi krunalpanchalN,
Try this code..

C#

var fromDataTable = (from K in ((from DataRow c in dt.Rows select c).SelectMany(T => T["name"].ToString().Split(',').ToArray())) select new { Itemset = K });
            var test = fromDataTable.Select((fromDataTableNew, ee) => new { Id = ee + 1, Itemset = fromDataTableNew.Itemset });

            grdnew.DataSource = test;
            grdnew.DataBind();

This should do what you need. I've used the HashSet instead of a list as you mentioned you wanted the unique itemset, which would be a set not a list

// Example Table
DataTable tblItems = new DataTable("MyItems");
tblItems.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Id", typeof(string)));
tblItems.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("Itemset", typeof(string)));

// Add the sample rows
tblItems.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, "beer,mango, diaper, wafers"});
tblItems.Rows.Add(new object[] { 2, "bottle,laptop,mouse,keyboard" });

// As you want the unique items why not use a hashset instead of a list
HashSet<string> items = new HashSet<string>();

// Getting the row data into the set
foreach (DataRow dr in tblItems.Rows)
{
    var itemSet = dr["Itemset"].ToString().Split(',').ToList();
    itemSet.ForEach(i =>
    {
        if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(i))
            items.Add(i.Trim());
    });
}

// Output the unique items
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count; i++ )
{
    Console.WriteLine(string.Format("{0} - {1}", i+1, items.ElementAt(i)));
}
