I see many posts about converting the table(s) in a DataSet to a list of DataRows or other row data but I was unable to find anything about this question. This is what I came up with using .Net 3.0:
public static List<DataTable> DataSetToList(DataSet ds)
{
List<DataTable> result = new List<DataTable>();
foreach (DataTable dtbl in ds.Tables)
{
result.Add(dtbl);
}
return result;
}
Is there a better way, excluding an extension method?
Thanks

There are the following 3 ways to convert a DataTable to a List. Using a Loop. Using LINQ. Using a Generic Method.
A DataSet already contains DataTables . You can just use: DataTable firstTable = dataSet. Tables[0];
Step 1: Create a console application and add the Student class with the properties as below. Step 2: In Main method, create a list of students as below. Step 3: Now we are going to convert this list object to a DataTable. For that we need to create a new class and a conversion method as below.
Based on Why LINQ casting with a Data.DataTableCollection this will work;
List<DataTable> result = new List<DataTable>(ds.Tables.Cast<DataTable>())
