        }

        public void BindGrid()
        {
            DataTable DTable = new DataTable();

            List<Employee> objEmployeeList = new List<Employee>();

            objEmployeeList.Add(new Employee { Id = 1, Name = "Muhammad Asif", Gender = "Male", Salary = 2000, DeptId = 10 });
            objEmployeeList.Add(new Employee { Id = 2, Name = "Muhammad Nizam", Gender = "Male", Salary = 3000, DeptId = 20 });

            DTable = ConvertToDataTable<Employee>(objEmployeeList);
            GvEmployee.DataSource = DTable;

Method Used to Convert List To DataTable :

   public DataTable ConvertToDataTable<T>(List<T> items)
        {
            DataTable dataTable = new DataTable(typeof(T).Name);

         
            PropertyInfo[] Props = typeof(T).GetProperties(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
            foreach (PropertyInfo prop in Props)
            {
               
                dataTable.Columns.Add(prop.Name);
            }
            foreach (T item in items)
            {
                var values = new object[Props.Length];
                for (int i = 0; i < Props.Length; i++)
                {
                    
                    values[i] = Props[i].GetValue(item, null);
                }
                dataTable.Rows.Add(values);
            }
            
            return dataTable;
