          "ProductFlavorID": 9351,
          "Flavor": "APPLE"
        },
        {
          "productcode": 1676,
          "ProductFlavorID": 9352,
          "Flavor": "STRAWBERY"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "productcode": 1677,
      "type": "RED FIGHTER CAN-24*250ML",
      "image_url": "http://localhost/images/temp.png",
      "flavor": [
        {
          "productcode": 1677,
          "ProductFlavorID": 9353,
          "Flavor": "respery"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "productcode": 1678,
      "type": "POWER ENERGY CAN 24*330ML",
      "image_url": "http://localhost/images/temp.png"
    }
  ]
}

how can I archive this...

Answer 1

You can apporach this situation with linq , when iterating every product you can set flavors from dt2 by filtering with Where method.

Simple example would be like this:

using System.Linq;

products.ForEach(p => {
    p.flavors = flavors.Where(f => f.productcode == product.productcode).ToList();
});

Where method
