    <p>I think an <code>extension method</code> is the best way to go:</p> <pre><code>public static class Helper { public static T ToType&lt;T&gt;(this DataRow row) where T : new() { T obj = new T(); var props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(obj); foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in props) { if(row.Table.Columns.IndexOf(prop.Name) &gt;= 0 &amp;&amp; row[prop.Name].GetType() == prop.PropertyType) { prop.SetValue(obj, row[prop.Name]); } } return obj; } } </code></pre> <p>Usage:</p> <pre><code>public List&lt;T&gt; ImportTable&lt;T&gt;(String fileName, String table) { //Establish Connection to Access Database File var mdbData = new ConnectToAccess(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\ACCESS\" + fileName + ".mdb;"); var tableData = new List&lt;T&gt;(); foreach (DataRow row in mdbData.GetData("SELECT * FROM " + table).Rows) { tableData.Add(row.ToType&lt;T&gt;()); } return tableData; } </code></pre> <p><b>Update</b> I see that you asked for a <code>Func</code> that would provide the mapping. I'm not sure exactly what you envisioned but here is a method I came up with:</p> <pre><code>public class mdbConcern { public Int32 ConcernId { get; set; } public String Concern { get; set; } public static PropertyDescriptor Mapping(string name) { PropertyDescriptorCollection props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(typeof(mdbConcern)); switch (name) { case "Concern_Id": return props.GetByName("ConcernId"); case "Concern": return props.GetByName("Concern"); default: return null; } } } public static class Helper { public static T ToType&lt;T&gt;(this DataRow row, Func&lt;string, PropertyDescriptor&gt; mapping) where T : new() { T obj = new T(); foreach (DataColumn col in row.Table.Columns) { var prop = mapping(col.ColumnName); if(prop != null) prop.SetValue(obj, row[col]); } return obj; } } </code></pre> <p>Usage:</p> <pre><code>foreach (DataRow row in mdbData.GetData("SELECT * FROM " + table).Rows) { tableData.Add(row.ToType&lt;mdbConcern&gt;(mdbConcern.Mapping)); } </code></pre> <p>Here's a version using attributes on the type's properties to store its mapping. I think it's a more natural solution:</p> <pre><code>[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)] public class ColumnMappingAttribute : Attribute { public string Name { get; set; } public ColumnMappingAttribute(string name) { Name = name; } } public class mdbConcern { ColumnMapping("Concern_Id")] public Int32 ConcernId { get; set; } ColumnMapping("Concern")] public String Concern { get; set; } } public static class Helper { public static T ToType&lt;T&gt;(this DataRow row) where T : new() { T obj = new T(); var props = TypeDescriptor.GetProperties(obj); foreach (PropertyDescriptor prop in props) { var columnMapping = prop.Attributes.OfType&lt;ColumnMappingAttribute&gt;().FirstOrDefault(); if(columnMapping != null) { if(row.Table.Columns.IndexOf(columnMapping.Name) &gt;= 0 &amp;&amp; row[columnMapping.Name].GetType() == prop.PropertyType) { prop.SetValue(obj, row[columnMapping.Name]); } } } return obj; } } </code></pre>

    1. COThis is a neat code sample, but unfortunately I don't think it is going to work for my situation. The data source I'm pulling from is an old Access database and many column names throughout the schema had spaces in them. As such, the properties on my objects don't all match the column names in the tables they are supposed to correspond to.

    2. CO@jdavis I updated my answer with a method I think is more like what you're looking for. Let me know if it helps.

Querying!

 
Guidance
A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
