I want to add all the row to a datatable and then assign it to gridview.. I have not used datatable. Please guide

The code is as below:

 else if (e.CommandName == "AddContactPerson")
        {
            Control control=null;
            if(GVContact.FooterRow!=null)
            {
                control=GVContact.FooterRow;
            }
            else
            {
                control=GVContact.Controls[0].Controls[0];
            }
            string contactstatus = null;
            CheckBox chk = (control.FindControl("chkstatus") as CheckBox);
            if (chk.Checked)
            {
                contactstatus = "1";
            }
            else
            {
                contactstatus = "0";
            }
            string contact = (control.FindControl("txtcontact") as TextBox).Text;
            string contactemail = (control.FindControl("txtCemail") as TextBox).Text;
            string contactmobile = (control.FindControl("txtCmobile") as TextBox).Text;
          
           Here i want to create a DataTable and assign the DataTable to GVContact  I want to Assign the columns: contact ,contactemail ,contactmobile ,contactstatus to the DataRow
          
        }

This way

//First Create DataTable
DataTable dt=new DataTable(); 
dt.Columns.Add("Name"); 
dt.Colums.Add("Marks"); 

//Add Row
DataRow row = dt.NewRow(); 
row["Name"] = "Ravi"; 
row["Marks"] = 500; 
dt.Rows.Add(row);
