There is no built in method for converting list to data table in C#. So we can implement following method for converting List to DataTable in C#.
C#
public DataTable ToDataTable<T>(IList<T> data)// T is any generic type
{
PropertyDescriptorCollection props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(T));
DataTable table = new DataTable();
for (int i = 0; i < props.Count; i++)
{
PropertyDescriptor prop = props[i];
table.Columns.Add(prop.Name, prop.PropertyType);
}
object[] values = newobject[props.Count];
foreach (T item in data)
{
for (int i = 0; i < values.Length; i++)
{
values[i] = props[i].GetValue(item);
}
table.Rows.Add(values);
}
return table;
}

What if my class which is generic is complex which has objects inside objects ?
