In general it is about:
use assign
left side your dict
right side:
YourDataTableVar.AsEnumerable.ToDictionary(Of String, String)(Function (r) r(YourKeyCol).toString, Function (r) r(YourValueCol).toString)

thank you so much, it works. just a follow up question, if the value is a tuple, more than 1 string value, how should i edit the formula?

@ZARA_Clark_Vincent_M
are you talking about a tuple (the tuple<T> Class) or a string Array / List
however it will change the dictionary definition ToDictionary(Of String, OtherDataType)

and the value retrieval function Function (r) r(YourValueCol)
