At least when I last looked (which was around the time of Silverlight 3), DataTable (actually, IIRC, the entire System.Data namespace) was not included in Silverlight. The workaround was to convert the data into a List<T> representation on the WCF (server) side, then let the server and client side share the implementation of the type T. That allows them to share sets of data.

Not sure if this has changed in Silverlight 4.
