I created class inherited from DataTable. I want to Expose the items like “Name” , “Number”

from the class. Just like this 

class MyClass : DataTable
{
  [Column]
  Name

  [Column]
   Number
}

so that i can access like row[“Name”] = “some”;

and i going to use this data table as DataSource to Crystal Report. ( ie from Data menu->Add new DataSource –> object and select the appropriate class and this will display the Name and Number which i can add to crystal report at design time)

How to achieve this.

    You are reinventing the wheel. Trying to create a DataTable that will expose named rows/columns is a pattern that has already been done in .NET 2.0 – If you’re using .NET 2.0 take a look at this MSDN tutorial which goes through creating Strongly Typed DataSets.

    You can also search on google for more information using the keywords Strong Typed DataSets
