Maybe using LINQ?

There’s gotta be a better way than manually looping through all the columns/rows…

Method 1

Linq is the answer. You can convert a DataTable to IEnumerable using the AsEnumerable method. Then, the ToArray() converts it to an array.

var tableEnumerable = DataTableName.AsEnumerable();
tableArray = tableEnumerable.ToArray();

Method 2

yourTable.AsEnumerable().Select(row => row.ItemArray).ToArray()

Method 3

try
dt.Rows.Cast().Select(//datarow to strings)
