Answer 1

First, when creating temp don't just instantiate it as a new DataTable but instead call .Clone() on findrows to create a structurally identical DataTable .

Second, use .ImportRow() on the second DataTable and pass it the row from the first DataTable that you'd like to copy. This should create an entirely new row in the second table with the same values as the row from the first table.
