I am trying to write a generic extension to turn a ManagementObjectCollection into a DataTable. This is just to make things easier for a startup script/program I am writing. I have ran into a problem with CimType. I have included the code I have written so far below.

    public static DataTable GetData(this ManagementObjectCollection objectCollection)
    {
        DataTable table = new DataTable();

        foreach (ManagementObject obj in objectCollection)
        {
            if (table.Columns.Count == 0)
            {
                foreach (PropertyData property in obj.Properties)
                {
                    table.Columns.Add(property.Name, property.Type);
                }
            }

            DataRow row = table.NewRow();

            foreach (PropertyData property in obj.Properties)
            {
                row[property.Name] = property.Value;
            }

            table.Rows.Add(row);
        }

        return table;
    }
}

I have found the a method which I think will work at http://www.devcow.com/blogs/adnrg/archive/2005/09/23/108.aspx. However it seems to me like there may be a better way, or even a .net function I am overlooking.
