I couldn't get Nitin Sawant's answer to work, but I was able to modify his code to work for me. Essentially I needed to use GetRuntimeFields instead of GetProperties. Here's what I ended up with:
public static class Extensions
{
public static List<T> ToList<T>(this DataTable table) where T : new()
{
IList<FieldInfo> fields = typeof(T).GetRuntimeFields().ToList();
List<T> result = new List<T>();
if (row.Table.Columns.Contains(field.Name))
{
foreach (var row in table.Rows)
{
var item = CreateItemFromRow<T>((DataRow)row, fields);
result.Add(item);
}
}
return result;
}
private static T CreateItemFromRow<T>(DataRow row, IList<FieldInfo> fields) where T : new()
{
T item = new T();
foreach (var field in fields)
{
if (row[field.Name] == DBNull.Value)
field.SetValue(item, null);
else
field.SetValue(item, row[field.Name]);
}
return item;
}
}
