IEntityInstance.EntityAsFormattedDataTable
Remarks
When entity instances are transformed into data rows in a data table, they lose the special semantics attached to them in the Business Data Catalog, such as the ability to call instance methods on them. Therefore, you should transform entity instances into data rows only if necessary.
