Useful if you have many unrelated classes that share similar properties and you are constantly writing code like: shirt.Color = pants.Color shirt.Pattern = pants.Pattern shirt.Style = pants.Style Could change to: pants.CopyPropertiesTo(shirt)

The DataTable column names must match the property names and types of the target class. Example: DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("TestString", typeof(string)); dt.Columns.Add("TestBool", typeof(bool)); dt.Columns.Add("TestInt", typeof(int)); dt.Columns.Add("TestDouble", typeof(double)); dt.Columns.Add("TestDecimal", typeof(decimal)); dt.Columns.Add("TestFloat", typeof(string)); DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr["TestString"] = "Hello"; dr["TestBool"] = false; dr["TestInt"] = DBNull.Value; dr["TestDouble"] =4.56; dr["TestDecimal"] = 7.89m; dr["TestFloat"] = "3.14f"; dt.Rows.Add(dr); TestClass tc = new TestClass(); dr.AssignObjectValue(tc); class TestClass { public string TestString { get; set; } public bool? TestBool { get; set; } public int? TestInt { get; set; } public double TestDouble { get; set; } public decimal TestDecimal { get; set; } public float TestFloat { get; set; } }
