Convert/Use datatable as Source to SfDatagrid xamarin forms

[Jonas]

Hello
I have a data table with data from sql query. (selct * from)
I know I cannot bind directly to the data table.
(Https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/125439/datatable-as-datasource-in-xamrin-forms)

But I can't convert the data table or bind to sfdatagrid.

I need a generic way, I don't know how many columns I have or the names or the data type.

would be nice to find a good way to convert / use data table to all sync fusion controls.

I have read many threads on the internet to find a way.

I've tried this:

var table = new DataTable ();
table.Load (command.ExecuteReader ());
GRID_PlanTid.AutoGenerateColumns = True;

GRID_PlanTid.ItemsSource = table;
Does not work, no errors

GRID_PlanTid.ItemsSource = table.select ()
Does not work, no errors
But when I debug, I can see all the columns and rows in the ItemsSource but the grid is empty.
What I can find then select () should return an array.

List <System.Data.DataRow> list = new List <System.Data.DataRow> (table.Select ());
GRID_PlanTid.ItemsSource = list;
Does not work no fault.
