You could use the DataTable.Select() method. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t5ce3dyt.aspx

Microsoft's example:

  // Presuming the DataTable has a column named Date. 
  string expression = "Date = '1/31/1979' or OrderID = 2";
  // string expression = "OrderQuantity = 2 and OrderID = 2";

  // Sort descending by column named CompanyName. 
  string sortOrder = "CompanyName ASC";
  DataRow[] foundRows;

  // Use the Select method to find all rows matching the filter.
  foundRows = table.Select(expression, sortOrder);
