Add this function and call it, it will convert List to DataTable.

public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(List<T> items) {         DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(typeof(T).Name);              //Get all the properties         PropertyInfo[] Props = typeof(T).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);         foreach (PropertyInfo prop in Props)         {             //Defining type of data column gives proper data table              var type = (prop.PropertyType.IsGenericType && prop.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>) ? Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType) : prop.PropertyType);             //Setting column names as Property names             dataTable.Columns.Add(prop.Name, type);         }         foreach (T item in items)         {            var values = new object[Props.Length];            for (int i = 0; i < Props.Length; i++)            {                 //inserting property values to datatable rows                 values[i] = Props[i].GetValue(item, null);            }            dataTable.Rows.Add(values);       }       //put a breakpoint here and check datatable       return dataTable; }
