Title Body

I am trying to convert a DataTable to an IEnumerable. Where T is a custom type I created. I know I can do it by creating a List<T> but I was thinking if there is a slicker way to do it using IEnumerable. Here is what I have now: private IEnumerable<TankReading> ConvertToTankReadings(DataTable dataTable) { var tankReadings = new List<TankReading>(); foreach (DataRow row in dataTable.Rows) { var tankReading = new TankReading { TankReadingsID = Convert.ToInt32(row["TRReadingsID"]), TankID = Convert.ToInt32(row["TankID"]), ReadingDateTime = Convert.ToDateTime(row["ReadingDateTime"]), ReadingFeet = Convert.ToInt32(row["ReadingFeet"]), ReadingInches = Convert.ToInt32(row["ReadingInches"]), MaterialNumber = row["MaterialNumber"].ToString(), EnteredBy = row["EnteredBy"].ToString(), ReadingPounds = Convert.ToDecimal(row["ReadingPounds"]), MaterialID = Convert.ToInt32(row["MaterialID"]), Submitted = Convert.ToBoolean(row["Submitted"]), }; tankReadings.Add(tankReading); } return tankReadings.AsEnumerable(); } The key part being I am creating a List<T> then returning it using AsEnumerable() .
