Answer 1

This is a great time to use anonymous types

var query = (from row in DataTable.Rows.Cast<DataRow>()
            select new 
            {
                 ID = row.Field<int>("ID"),
                 Name = row.Field<string>("Caption"),
                 \\etc etc etc
            }).ToArray();

If you already have a class to store the results you could just as easily replace the anonymous type with that class (or use a Tuple in 4.0)

If you do this frequently you could write an extension method that uses reflection to match up data columns with the names of properties in the class array you are trying to generate
