I mean selecting from datatable , you know asp.net datatable object , not
from database table!

It never works !!! DataTable.Select() works as a where clause...

I assume SourceTable contains whole data and u don't need to sort it.

DataTable outputTable = SourceTable.Clone();
for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
outputTable.ImportRow(SourceTable.Rows[i]);

outputTable contains top 20 records.
