Which is better a datatable or generic List of a struct type?

ashybabes
I need to do some in-memory management of a data structure that contains only few columns ( InvoiceID,ReceiptID, Adjustment Amount, Balance Amount)?

TIA

DataTable and Generic Lists are totally of different kinds....

Use a DataTable if you want to store the data in a format it would have been in the database....

Use Lists if you want to store data in just a array like structure
