Convert object into DataTable C#

Recently I got a requirement in a project to convert own type of object to DataTable. Here I am sharing my code with you.

Steps

1. Create datatable and give a name

	DataTable dt = new DataTable();
	dt.TableName = "localVehicleDetails";

2. Create Column Names

	foreach (PropertyInfo property in vehicle.GetType().GetProperties())
	{
	dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(property.Name, property.PropertyType));
	}

3. Create a Data Row

4. Add Data in to DataRow

	foreach (PropertyInfo property in vehicle.GetType().GetProperties())
	{
	newRow[property.Name] = vehicle.GetType().GetProperty(property.Name).GetValue(vehicle, null);
	}

Thats it...
Here some Extended Method to how to use this method

	public static DataTable SetVehiclesDetails(List<VehicleDetails> vehicleDetailsList)
	{
	DataTable dt = new DataTable();
	try
	{
	dt.TableName = "localVehicleDetails";
	foreach (PropertyInfo property in vehicleDetailsList[0].GetType().GetProperties())
	{
	dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(property.Name, property.PropertyType));
	}
	foreach (var vehicle in vehicleDetailsList)
	{
	DataRow newRow = dt.NewRow();
	foreach (PropertyInfo property in vehicle.GetType().GetProperties())
	{
	newRow[property.Name] = vehicle.GetType().GetProperty(property.Name).GetValue(vehicle, null);
	}
	dt.Rows.Add(newRow);
	}
	return dt;
	}
	catch (Exception ex)
	{
	Console.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
	return null;
	}
	}
