[c#] Get properties and values from unknown object

Here's something I use to transform an IEnumerable<T> into a DataTable that contains columns representing T's properties, with one row for each item in the IEnumerable:

public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(IEnumerable<T> items)
{
    var table = CreateDataTableForPropertiesOfType<T>();
    PropertyInfo[] piT = typeof(T).GetProperties();
    foreach (var item in items)
    {
        var dr = table.NewRow();
        for (int property = 0; property < table.Columns.Count; property++)
        {
            if (piT[property].CanRead)
            {
                var value = piT[property].GetValue(item, null);
                if (piT[property].PropertyType.IsGenericType)
                {
                    if (value == null)
                    {
                        dr[property] = DBNull.Value;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        dr[property] = piT[property].GetValue(item, null);
                    }
                }
                else
                {
                    dr[property] = piT[property].GetValue(item, null);
                }
            }
        }
        table.Rows.Add(dr);
    }
    return table;
}

public static DataTable CreateDataTableForPropertiesOfType<T>()
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    PropertyInfo[] piT = typeof(T).GetProperties();
    foreach (PropertyInfo pi in piT)
    {
        Type propertyType = null;
        if (pi.PropertyType.IsGenericType)
        {
            propertyType = pi.PropertyType.GetGenericArguments()[0];
        }
        else
        {
            propertyType = pi.PropertyType;
        }
        DataColumn dc = new DataColumn(pi.Name, propertyType);

        if (pi.CanRead)
        {
            dt.Columns.Add(dc);
        }
    }
    return dt;
}

This is "somewhat" overcomplicated, but it's actually quite good for seeing what the outcome is, as you can give it a List<T> of, for example:

public class Car
{
    string Make { get; set; }
    int YearOfManufacture {get; set; }
}

And you'll be returned a DataTable with the structure:

Make (string)
YearOfManufacture (int)

With one row per item in your List<Car>
