Get Distinct data from datatable present in webservices using linq - asp.net

Question

I want to get only single row from multiple rows with same projectname from the datatable.(Eg. if we have two rows with same projectname,the datatable should be loaded with the only one row and neglect the other one.).I have been using webservices which has the datatable.
I want to achieve this functionality using linq.
I have pasted my code for datatable.Pls help me with working code.
[WebMethod]
public DataTable Get()
{
int a = 0;
cmd = con.CreateCommand();
con.Open();
cmd = con.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = " Select PROJECTNAME,COMPANY,PROJECTSTATUS,STARTEDIN,COMPLETEDIN FROM CMPPROJECT WHERE STATUS ='" + a + "'";
using (OracleDataAdapter sda = new OracleDataAdapter())
{
cmd.Connection = con;
sda.SelectCommand = cmd;
using (DataTable dt = new DataTable())
{
dt.TableName = "CMPPROJECT";
sda.Fill(dt);
return dt;
}
}
}

You can create a DataView object which has a method ToTable in which you can pass true to parameter distinct to select distinct rows. But this has no sense to me. I would do this directly in a select query:
DataTable d = new DataTable("CMPPROJECT");
d.Columns.Add("PROJECTNAME");
d.Columns.Add("COMPANY");
d.Rows.Add(1, 1);
d.Rows.Add(1, 1);
d.Rows.Add(2, 2);
d = new DataView(d).ToTable("CMPPROJECT", true, "PROJECTNAME", "COMPANY");
Here is `linq solution:
var select = (from a in d.AsEnumerable()
select new { c1 = a["PROJECTNAME"], c2 = a["COMPANY"] }).Distinct().ToList();
d.Clear();
foreach (var item in select)
d.Rows.Add(item.c1, item.c2);
