"How to use" is not really a question. Do you get error? If not what are you trying to do? — user447356

I had a similar problem and changing the wrapper fixed it for me. I don't know C# but check if you don't have something similar to this. I had the following in my code:

<div id='data_table_wrapper'>
{{=user_table}}
</div>

The "{{=user_table}}" basically calls the table - I am using python instead of C#. DataTable has a specific structure, the ID cannot be assigned to a DIV. Changing it to the following fixed my problem:

<table id='data_table_wrapper'>
{{=user_table}}
</table>

Edit: Also check the manual on http://www.datatables.net for further instructions - you have to be using a structure that includes thead, and so on..
