SQLBulkCopy with Identity Insert in destination table

I am trying to insert a Generic list to SQL Server with SQLBulkCopy,

And i have trouble wit Identity Field

I wan t my destination table to generate identity field How should i handle this, here is my code

using (var bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString))
                {
                    bulkCopy.BatchSize = (int)DetailLines;
                    bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "dbo.tMyTable";

                    var table = new DataTable();
                    var props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(tBFFormularyStatusList))
                        //Dirty hack to make sure we only have system data types 
                        //i.e. filter out the relationships/collections
                                               .Cast<PropertyDescriptor>()
                                               .Where(propertyInfo => propertyInfo.PropertyType.Namespace.Equals("System"))
                                               .ToArray();
                    foreach (var propertyInfo in props)
                    {
                        bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add(propertyInfo.Name, propertyInfo.Name);
                        table.Columns.Add(propertyInfo.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(propertyInfo.PropertyType) ?? propertyInfo.PropertyType);
                    }

                    var values = new object[props.Length];
                    foreach (var item in myGenericList)
                    {
                        for (var i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
                        {
                            values[i] = props[i].GetValue(item);
                        }

                        table.Rows.Add(values);
                    }

                    bulkCopy.WriteToServer(table);
                }

exception

Property accessor 'ID' on object 'ProcessFlatFiles.DetailsClass' threw the following exception:'Object does not match target type.'

I have also tried

using (var bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString, SqlBulkCopyOptions.KeepIdentity))
                {

Finally I got this worked this way

    using (var bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString, SqlBulkCopyOptions.KeepNulls & SqlBulkCopyOptions.KeepIdentity))
                {
                    bulkCopy.BatchSize = (int)DetailLines;
                    bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "dbo.myTable";
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Clear();
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceColumnName", "DestinationColumnName");
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceColumnName", "DestinationColumnName");
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceColumnName", "DestinationColumnName");
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceColumnName", "DestinationColumnName");
                    .
                    .
                    .
                    .
                    bulkCopy.ColumnMappings.Add("SourceColumnName", "DestinationColumnName");

                    bulkCopy.WriteToServer(datatable);
                }
