Try something like this
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
DataTable table = new DataTable();
table.Columns.Add("a", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add("b", typeof(int));
table.Columns.Add("c", typeof(int));
table.Rows.Add(new object[] { 1, 2, 3 });
table.Rows.Add(new object[] { 4, 5, 6 });
table.Rows.Add(new object[] { 7, 8, 9 });
int numCols = table.Columns.Count;
List<string> colNames = new List<string>();
foreach (DataColumn col in table.Columns)
colNames.Add(col.ColumnName);
foreach (DataRow row in table.AsEnumerable())
foreach (string colName in colNames)
int cell = row.Field<int>(colName);
