Filtering DataSet

You can use DataTable.Select:

var strExpr = "CostumerID = 1 AND OrderCount > 2";
var strSort = "OrderCount DESC";

// Use the Select method to find all rows matching the filter.
foundRows = ds.Table[0].Select(strExpr, strSort);  

Or you can use DataView:

ds.Tables[0].DefaultView.RowFilter = strExpr;  

UPDATE I’m not sure why you want to have a DataSet returned. But I’d go with the following solution:

var dv = ds.Tables[0].DefaultView;
dv.RowFilter = strExpr;
var newDS = new DataSet();
var newDT = dv.ToTable();
newDS.Tables.Add(newDT);
