Creating a HashSet from a column of DataTable

Question

Is there a built in way (LINQ maybe?) of taking all the row values from a specific column from a DataTable and creating a HashSet from it? The column is also of type String.

I could obviously do this in a loop but I was wondering if there is another way?

I'm using .net 3.5 btw.

Thanks,

AJ

Use HashSet<T> Constructor (IEnumerable<T>)
