Need to get empty datatable in .net with database table schema

Question

What is the best way to create an Empty DataTable object with the schema of a sql server table?

Answer 1

Assuming that you can connect to the SQL database which contains the table you want to copy at the point it time you want to do this, you could use a conventional resultset to datatable conversion, using

select * from  where 1=2

as your source query.

This will return an empty result set with the structure of the source table.
