Cómo implementar CopyToDataTable<T> donde el tipo genérico T no es un objeto DataRow

El objeto DataTable se suele utilizar para el enlace de datos. El método CopyToDataTable toma los resultados de una consulta y copia los datos en un objeto DataTable que puede utilizarse después para el enlace de datos. Sin embargo, los métodos CopyToDataTable solo funcionan en un origen IEnumerable<T> en el que el parámetro genérico T es de tipo DataRow. Aunque esto es útil, no permite la creación de tablas a partir de una secuencia de tipos escalares, a partir de consultas que proyectan tipos anónimos, o a partir de consultas que realizan combinaciones de tablas.

En este tema se describe cómo se implementan dos métodos de extensión CopyToDataTable<T> personalizados que aceptan un parámetro genérico T de un tipo distinto de DataRow. La lógica para crear un objeto DataTable desde un origen IEnumerable<T> está contenida en la clase ObjectShredder<T>, que se incluye después en dos métodos de extensión CopyToDataTable<T> sobrecargados. El método Shred de la clase ObjectShredder<T> devuelve el objeto DataTable relleno y acepta tres parámetros de entrada: un origen IEnumerable<T>, un objeto DataTable y una enumeración LoadOption. El esquema inicial del objeto DataTable devuelto está basado en el esquema del tipo T. Si se proporciona una tabla existente como entrada, el esquema debe ser coherente con el esquema del tipo T. Cada propiedad y campo públicos del tipo T se convierten a un objeto DataColumn en la tabla devuelta. Si la secuencia de origen contiene un tipo derivado de T, el esquema de la tabla devuelta se expande para las propiedades o campos públicos adicionales.

Para implementar los métodos CopyToDataTable<T> personalizados en la aplicación

  1. Implemente la clase ObjectShredder<T> para crear un objeto DataTable desde un origen IEnumerable<T>:

    public class ObjectShredder<T>
    {
        readonly FieldInfo[] _fi;
        readonly PropertyInfo[] _pi;
        readonly Dictionary<string, int> _ordinalMap;
        readonly Type _type;
    
        // ObjectShredder constructor.
        public ObjectShredder()
        {
            _type = typeof(T);
            _fi = _type.GetFields();
            _pi = _type.GetProperties();
            _ordinalMap = new Dictionary<string, int>();
        }

        /// <param name="table">The input table. The schema of the table must match that

    En el ejemplo anterior se supone que las propiedades y campos de DataColumn no son tipos que aceptan valores NULL. Para controlar las propiedades y campos con tipos que aceptan valores NULL, use el código siguiente:

    // Nullable-aware code for properties.
    DataColumn dc = table.Columns.Contains(p.Name) ? table.Columns[p.Name] : table.Columns.Add(p.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(p.PropertyType) ?? p.PropertyType);
    
    // Nullable-aware code for fields.
    DataColumn dc = table.Columns.Contains(f.Name) ? table.Columns[f.Name] : table.Columns.Add(f.Name, Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(f.FieldType) ?? f.FieldType);
    
  2. Implemente los métodos de extensión CopyToDataTable<T> personalizados en una clase:
