public sealed class Person
{
    public Person() { }
    public Person(string name,bool HQ) {
        this.Name = name;
        this.HQ = HQ;
    }

    private string _Name;
    public string Name
    {
        get { return _Name; }
        set { _Name = value; }
    }

    private bool _HQ;
    public bool HQ
    {
        get { return _HQ; }
        set { _HQ = value; }
    }
}

  protected void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Name",typeof(string));
        dt.Columns.Add("HQ", typeof(bool));

        DataRow dr = null;
        dr = dt.NewRow();
        dr["Name"]="Arijit";
        dr["HQ"]=true;
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);

        dr = dt.NewRow();
        dr["Name"] = "Dibyendu";
        dr["HQ"] = false;
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);

        dr = dt.NewRow();
        dr["Name"] = "Tridip";
        dr["HQ"] = false;
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);


        List<Person> oPerson1 = (from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
            select new Person
            {
                Name = c.Field<string>("Name"),
                HQ = c.Field<bool>("HQ")
            }).Skip(1).Take(2).ToList();


        List<Person> oPerson2 = (from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
            select new Person
            {
                Name = c.Field<string>("Name"),
                HQ = c.Field<bool>("HQ")
            }).Take(1).Skip(2).ToList();

    }

Answer 1

if you want to take first record you can call these Take(1) , First() , FirstOrDefault()

if you want to take 1 record in the middle call this : Skip(n).Take(1) where n - is number of skipped records

When you call Take(n) - no need to call Skip after that, it have already selected n records

Answer 2

Try this code.

Person oPerson1 = (from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
select new Person
{
    Name = c.Field<string>("Name"),
    HQ = c.Field<bool>("HQ")
}).First(); //first person in a list


Person oPerson2 = (from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
select new Person
{
    Name = c.Field<string>("Name"),
    HQ = c.Field<bool>("HQ")
}).Skip(1).First(); //second person in a list

However this code can be rewritten to be clearer:

List<Person> persons = from c in dt.AsEnumerable()
select new Person
{
    Name = c.Field<string>("Name"),
    HQ = c.Field<bool>("HQ")
};

Person oPerson1 = persons[0];
Person oPerson2 = persons[1];
