After a long struggle I find out the way to convert a Linq Query resultset to DataTable object. The attached source code shows how to do it. I am sharing this article with my developer friends and make their life easier.
Here are two samples.
Sample I:
I created a public method called LINQToDataTable as following:
public DataTable LINQToDataTable<T>(IEnumerable<T> varlist) { DataTable dtReturn = new DataTable();
// column names PropertyInfo[] oProps = null;
if (varlist == null) return dtReturn;
foreach (T rec in varlist) { // Use reflection to get property names, to create table, Only first time, others will follow if (oProps == null) { oProps = ((Type)rec.GetType()).GetProperties(); foreach (PropertyInfo pi in oProps) { Type colType = pi.PropertyType;
if ((colType.IsGenericType) && (colType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() ==typeof(Nullable<>))) { colType = colType.GetGenericArguments()[0]; }
dtReturn.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(pi.Name, colType)); } }
DataRow dr = dtReturn.NewRow();
foreach (PropertyInfo pi in oProps) { dr[pi.Name] = pi.GetValue(rec, null) == null ?DBNull.Value :pi.GetValue (rec,null); }
dtReturn.Rows.Add(dr); } return dtReturn; }
---------------------------------------------------------------
Example: To use this method, just use the following code sample:
---------------------------------------------------------------
var vrCountry = from country in objEmpDataContext.CountryMaster select new {country.CountryID,country.CountryName};
DataTable dt = LINQToDataTable(vrCountry);
Sample II
Here is my second method:
public DataTable ToDataTable(System.Data.Linq.DataContext ctx, object query) { if (query == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("query"); } IDbCommand cmd = ctx.GetCommand(query as IQueryable); SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter(); adapter.SelectCommand = (SqlCommand)cmd; DataTable dt = new DataTable("sd");
try { cmd.Connection.Open(); adapter.FillSchema(dt, SchemaType.Source); adapter.Fill(dt); } finally { cmd.Connection.Close(); } return dt; }
---------------------------------------------------------------
Example: To use this method, just use the following code sample:
---------------------------------------------------------------
var vrCountry = from country in objEmpDataContext.CountryMaster select new {country.CountryID,country.CountryName};
DataTable dt = LINQToDataTable(objEmpDataContext,vrCountry);
