Hi All, just in the middle of a code review and I'm finding lots of methods in different classes that use the following method for populating Dictionary and List objects - I'm wondering if there is an easier / generic way using Linq ( It looks like a black art to me ) this is what I have at present

DataSet ds = SomeMethodThatReturnsADataSet("MyDS");
Dictionary<string,string>  MyDictionary = new Dictionary<string,string>(StringComparer.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase);

foreach(DataRow dr in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
    MyDictionary.Add(dr["KeyName"].ToString(),dr["KeyValue"].ToString());

which is pretty basic and clean but , this code is scattered among dozens of classes - any thoughts very welcome
