Here is a simple way to convert to generic list in c# with Where condition

List filter = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                        .Where(x => x.Field("FilterID") == 5)
                        .Select(row => new Filter
                        {
                            FilterID = row.Field("FilterID"),
                            FilterName = row.Field("FilterName")
                        }).ToList();

First Define properties and use as per

public class Filter
{
    public int FilterID { get; set; }
    public string FilterName { get; set; }
}

Put Package:

using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;
