    It would be infinitely preferable to make it two separate methods.

    public void MyMethod(DataTable myArg)
    {
        ...
    }
    
    public void MyMethod(String myArg)
    {
        ...
    }
    

    or, if generic (I’m not sure why generic is needed in this case)

    public void MyMethod<T>(T myArg) where T: DataTable
    {
        ...
    }
    
    public void MyMethodStr<T>(T myArg) where T: string
    {
        ...
    }
    

    or worse case, throw errors if not one of those types. That is least preferable as it will throw at runtime not compile.

    public void MyMethod<T>(T myArg)
    {
        if(myArg is String == false && myString is DataTable == false)
            throw new InvalidArgumentException(...);
    }
    

    But besides that, no.
