Dataset for <T> list using linq

Question

I have DataSetand I want to convert DataSettoList<T>

Type T object

How to convert mine DataSet? It has 10 columns, with all 10 properties that my object has, and it returns over 15,000 rows. I want to return this dataset to List<obj>and encode it, how to do it?

Answer 1

This is almost the same as the other answers, but introduces strongly typed columns.

var myData = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable().Select(r => new {
    column1 = r.Field<string>("column1"),
    column2 = r.Field<int>("column2"), 
    column3 = r.Field<decimal?>("column3")
});
var list = myData.ToList(); // For if you really need a List and not IEnumerable

Answer 2

I think this should do it.

var output = yourDataSet.Tables[0].Rows.Cast<DataRow>().Select(r => new
{
    Column1 = r["Column1"].ToString(),
    Column2 = r["Column2"].ToString(),
    Column3 = r["Column3"].ToString(),
    Column4 = r["Column4"].ToString(),
    Column5 = r["Column5"].ToString(),
    Column6 = r["Column6"].ToString(),
    Column7 = r["Column7"].ToString(),
    Column8 = r["Column8"].ToString(),
    Column9 = r["Column9"].ToString(),
    Column10 = r["Column10"].ToString()
}).ToList();

Answer 3

, , IEnumerable<T>, List<T>. :

 var myData = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                  .Select(r => new {column1 = r[0].ToString(), 
                                    column2 = r[1].ToString() 
                                    /*etc*/
                          });

IEnumerable , .

Answer 5

I know that @bharat asked for a solution using LINQ, but mostly for myself, I wanted to compare @Kelsey's solution with the old-fashioned way:

List<Obj> list = new List<Obj>();

foreach (DataRow r in yourDataSet.Tables[0].Rows)
{
    Obj obj = new Obj();
    obj.Column1 = r["Column1"];
    obj.Column2 = r["Column2"];
    obj.Column3 = r["Column3"];
    obj.Column4 = r["Column4"];
    obj.Column5 = r["Column5"];
    obj.Column6 = r["Column6"];
    obj.Column7 = r["Column7"];
    obj.Column8 = r["Column8"];
    obj.Column9 = r["Column9"];
    obj.Column10 = r["Column10"];

    list.Add(obj);
}

Or through the constructor:

List<Obj> list = new List<Obj>();

foreach (DataRow r in yourDataSet.Tables[0].Rows)
{
    Obj obj = new Obj(r["Column1"], r["Column2"], r["Column3"], r["Column4"], r["Column5"],r["Column6"], r["Column7"], r["Column8"], r["Column9"],r["Column10"]);

    list.Add(obj);
}

I deliberately stopped .ToString(), because I think its use depends on the situation.
