You can fill DataTable from another DataTable using LINQ after doing LINQ operation.

This would be useful in condition like you need to perform some operation on DataTable using LINQ and get back result into another 'DataTable'. Means, you can filter and projection on one DataTable and get result in another DataTable.

We can achieve this by using 'CopyToDataTable' method of LINQ query result variable.

Here is example for this.
In this example we are taking one DataTable which contains product information like ID, name, etc. Now we get only those products which ID is greater than one by LINQ operation on this table and get result in another table using 'CopyToDataTable' method of LINQ query result variable.

You can create XML file from another file with selected elements from source XML file using LINQ. In this, we query the source XML file using LINQ and write or create new XML file.

Here is example for this. 
In this example we take one "Book.xml" file. In this file we have element like Title, Pages, ISBN and Auther. Now we are querying the "Book.xml" file to get only Title and ISBN of book and create another XML with data that contains only Title and ISBN element.
