LINQ query on a DataTable

Question

I\'m trying to perform a LINQ query on a DataTable object and bizarrely I am finding that performing such queries on DataTables is not straightforward. For example:

Answer 1

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

the name and age fields are now part of the query object and can be accessed like so: Console.WriteLine(query.name);
