I have a class that I need to hydrate from a DataTable object. Usually I do this the manual way. (see code snipit). The DataTable object populated using ADO.NET and TSql. I need to transfer the values from the DataTable into my .NET class. Is there a utility method that will do this for me automagically? So that I can avoid repetitive code like the following?
DriverSummary driver = new DriverSummary();
driver.Id = (int)row["Id"];
driver.UserId = row["UserId"] as string;
driver.Name = row["Name"] as string;
driver.TruckType = row["TruckType"] as string;
summaries.Add(driver);
I know that the Entity Framework is a tool that is supposed to fill this gap. I haven't quite made the jump to Entity Framework. For now I'd like to have a method that is similar to MVC's utility method UpdateModel() Which is lightweight and simple and hydrates a class from a list of form-value pairs by matching up key names with property names.
Such a utility method would save me tons of time!

After you create a DataTable and define its structure using columns and constraints, you can add new rows of data to the table. To add a new row, declare a new variable as type DataRow. A new DataRow object is returned when you call the NewRow method.
Like mentioned above I believe AutoMapper can do this now. You could also look at a ValueInjecter. ValueInjecter and DataTable
