How to convert list (Of T) to a Data Table

Here is an extension method which does just that:

public static class ExtensionMethods
    {
    /// <summary>
    /// Converts a List to a datatable
    /// </summary>
    /// <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
    /// <param name="data"></param>
    /// <returns></returns>
    public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(this IList<T> data)
        {
        PropertyDescriptorCollection properties = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(T));
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        for (int i = 0; i < properties.Count; i++)
            {
            PropertyDescriptor property = properties[i];
            dt.Columns.Add(property.Name, property.PropertyType);
            }
        object[] values = new object[properties.Count];
        foreach (T item in data)
            {
            for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
                {
                values[i] = properties[i].GetValue(item);
                }
            dt.Rows.Add(values);
            }
        return dt;
        }
    }

Have a go through the threads going there[^] where its suggested to use BindingList<T>
BindingList<T>[^] Class Provides a generic collection that supports data binding.

or the given function also might help you to convert List<type> to datatable

public static DataTable ListToDataTable<T>(List<T> list)
{
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
foreach (PropertyInfo info in typeof(T).GetProperties())
{
dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(info.Name, info.PropertyType));
}
foreach (T t in list)
{
DataRow row = dt.NewRow();
foreach (PropertyInfo info in typeof(T).GetProperties())
{
row[info.Name] = info.GetValue(t, null);
}
dt.Rows.Add(row);
}
return dt;
}
