How to convert DataTable to Generic List using LAMBDA in C#?

Let us create a datatable as under

private DataTable MyDataTable()
    {
        DataTable dtsource = new DataTable("Details");

        //Adding columns to datatable       
        dtsource.Columns.Add("Name",typeof(string));
        dtsource.Columns.Add("Gender", typeof(bool));

        //Adding records to the datatable
        dtsource.Rows.Add("Name1", 1);
        dtsource.Rows.Add("Name2", 1);
        dtsource.Rows.Add("Name3", 0);
        dtsource.Rows.Add("Name4", 1);
        dtsource.Rows.Add("Name5", 0);

        return dtsource;
    }

Then fire the below query

 var dt = MyDataTable().AsEnumerable()
                        .Select(dr => new {
                            Name = dr.Field<string>("Name"),
                            Category = dr.Field<bool>("Gender"),
                            NewCategory = dr.Field<bool>("Gender") ? "Male" : "Female"
                        }).ToList();

We are using the AsEnumerable() extension method which is available in System.Data.DataSetExtensions assembly.
