Add my linq query result set to dataset, C # asp.net 3.5

Question

My request:

var query1 = from u in dc.Usage_Computers.AsEnumerable
             where u.DomainUser == s3
             orderby u.OperationTime descending
             select new
             {
                 u.ProgramVersion,
                 u.OperationTime,
                 u.IPaddress,
                 u.ComputerName,
                 u.DomainUser,
                 u.OnNetwork,
                 Operation = u.Operation == 1 ? "Login" :
                             u.Operation == 2 ? "Logoff" :
                             u.Operation == 3 ? "AGNS Connect" :
                             u.Operation == 4 ? "AGNS Disconnect" :
                             "None"
             };

GridView1.DataSource = query1;
GridView1.DataBind();

After binding the data with gridview, I wanted to add the result set "query1" to the dataset or datatable. Can someone give me any idea how to do this?

I saw another entry with the same problem, but this answer did not work in my ...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Data;

public static class IEnumerableExt
{
    public static DataTable ToDataTable<T>(this IEnumerable<T> things) where T : class
    {
        DataTable tbl = new System.Data.DataTable();
        bool buildColumns = false;
        foreach (var item in things)
        {
            Type t = item.GetType();
            var properties = t.GetProperties();
            if (!buildColumns)
            {
                foreach (var prop in properties)
                {
                    Type ptype = prop.PropertyType;
                    if (prop.PropertyType.IsGenericType && prop.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(Nullable<>))
                    {
                        ptype = Nullable.GetUnderlyingType(prop.PropertyType.UnderlyingSystemType);
                    }
                    DataColumn col = new DataColumn(prop.Name, ptype);
                    tbl.Columns.Add(col);
                }
                buildColumns = true;
            }
            DataRow row = tbl.NewRow();

            foreach (var prop in properties)
            {
                if (prop.GetValue(item, null) == null)
                {
                    row[prop.Name] = DBNull.Value;
                }
                else
                {
                    row[prop.Name] = prop.GetValue(item, null);
                }
            }

            tbl.Rows.Add(row);
        }

        return tbl;
    }
}

no CopyToDataTable unless you are accessing DataRows:
