Best way in Converting DataGrid View to DataSet/DataTable

Question

DataSet, DataTable and linq expression are common DataSource values of a DataGridView.

Now in reverse, is it possible to pass/bind a DataGridView record to DataSet or DataTable?

Thanks

Got this Best Answer from Csharp Corner:

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);
