I am sure everyone but me knows about this thing by now...But man is it sweet. Thanks to John Papa for his ADODOTNET2 Demos.

DataTable dtNewCustomerTable;
using (SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection(sql2005CnString))
{
        /// Create the Command and Adapter
        using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(this.sqlAllCustomers, cn))
        {
                SqlDataAdapter adpt = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

                /// Create a DataTable and fill it
                DataTable dtCustomers = new DataTable("Customers");
                adpt.Fill(dtCustomers);

                /// Create the DataTableReader (it is disconnected)
                DataTableReader dtRdrCustomers = dtCustomers.CreateDataReader();

                //// Loop through all of the rows and display the first col of each. Just for kicks.
                //while (dtRdrCustomers.Read())
                //    Console.WriteLine(dtRdrCustomers.GetValue(0));
                Console.WriteLine(string.Format("DataTableReader has {0} fields.", dtRdrCustomers.FieldCount));

                /// Create a DataTable and load a
                /// DataTable in it from the DataTableReader
                dtNewCustomerTable = new DataTable();
                dtNewCustomerTable.Load(dtRdrCustomers);

                Console.WriteLine("Back to DataTable ... ");

                /// or load a DataSet from the DataTableReader
                ///DataSet dsCustomers = new DataSet();
                ///dsCustomers.Load(tableRdrCustomers, LoadOption.OverwriteChanges, "Customers");
                ///Console.WriteLine(dsCustomers.Tables["Customers"];
        }
}
