Assuming the IList contains String data:

Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim col As New DataColumn("ColumnName", GetType(String))
dt.Columns.Add(col)
For Each Item As Object In MyIList
    Dim row As DataRow = dataTable.NewRow()
    row("ColumnName") = Item
    dt.Rows.Add(row)
Next

Thanks with your help. I'm sorry that I didn't give u detail question & requirement.
I used Oject.Net to get data from a database to an IList (function PersistenceManager.getAllObjectsFromDb(typeof(Student))

public class Student
{
int m_StudentId;
string m_Name;
string m_Email;
....
}

When I run, it will return an IList containing an array of Student object. After that I bind this IList to a datagrid, it's OK, but I don't know how to sort data in this IList (ex : m_Name DESC) so that I want to change it to a datatable (or dataset) to use the dataview to sort data.
How to do that???

The only way I know of to convert an IList into a DataTable/DataSet is to loop through the items and add them to a DataTable, as I showed in my previous post.

If you simply want to sort the IList, try this:

public IList Sort(IList list)
{
    ((ArrayList)list).Sort();
    return list;
}
