下面提供了如何实现这一目标的示例:

DataSet dataSet = new DataSet(); //Create a dataset
dataSet = _DataEntryDataLayer.ReadResults(); //Call to the dataLayer to return the data

//LINQ query on a DataTable
var dataList = dataSet.Tables["DataTable"]
              .AsEnumerable()
              .Select(i => new
              {
                 ID = i["ID"],
                 Name = i["Name"]
               }).ToList();

你不能查询DataTable的Rows集合，因为DataRowCollection没有实现IEnumerable<T>。您需要为DataTable使用AsEnumerable()扩展。像这样:

var results = from myRow in myDataTable.AsEnumerable()
where myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1
select myRow;

正如@Keith所说，您需要添加一个对System.Data.DataSetExtensions的引用

AsEnumerable()返回IEnumerable<DataRow>。如果你需要将IEnumerable<DataRow>转换为数据表，请使用CopyToDataTable()扩展。

下面是Lambda表达式查询，

var result = myDataTable
    .AsEnumerable()
    .Where(myRow => myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1);

试试这个…

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand( "Select * from Employee",con);
SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader( );
DataTable dt = new DataTable( "Employee" );
dt.Load( dr );
var Data = dt.AsEnumerable( );
var names = from emp in Data select emp.Field<String>( dt.Columns[1] );
foreach( var name in names )
{
    Console.WriteLine( name );
}

var query = from p in dt.AsEnumerable()
                    where p.Field<string>("code") == this.txtCat.Text
                    select new
                    {
                        name = p.Field<string>("name"),
                        age= p.Field<int>("age")                         
                    };

name和age字段现在是查询对象的一部分，可以像这样访问:

正如@ch00k所说:

using System.Data; //needed for the extension methods to work

...

var results = 
    from myRow in myDataTable.Rows 
    where myRow.Field<int>("RowNo") == 1 
    select myRow; //select the thing you want, not the collection

您还需要向System.Data.DataSetExtensions添加一个项目引用

//Create DataTable 
DataTable dt= new DataTable();
dt.Columns.AddRange(new DataColumn[]
{
   new DataColumn("ID",typeof(System.Int32)),
   new DataColumn("Name",typeof(System.String))

});

//Fill with data

dt.Rows.Add(new Object[]{1,"Test1"});
dt.Rows.Add(new Object[]{2,"Test2"});

//Now  Query DataTable with linq
//To work with linq it should required our source implement IEnumerable interface.
//But DataTable not Implement IEnumerable interface
//So we call DataTable Extension method  i.e AsEnumerable() this will return EnumerableRowCollection<DataRow>


// Now Query DataTable to find Row whoes ID=1

DataRow drow = dt.AsEnumerable().Where(p=>p.Field<Int32>(0)==1).FirstOrDefault();
 //
