But through reflection you can enumerate the fields & properties in the object and then create the Data table based on these..... If the extension method works for you and creates what you need, this will probably be the simplest solution going forward...

Not withstanding Gregory's suggestion for improvements this implies that you have already constructed the DataTable with appropriate column types. If the data you are pulling in has a consistent format that's fine. If not then the extension method will allow the DataTable columns to be built automatically.

I guess you should speed test both approaches ?
