Why don't you want to use stored procedures - this is the job they were designed for - it's a bit like saying I want to build a house and I don't want to use cement.

Solution 2

You can do that in two way.

1.Database side
SQL Server: Conditional WHERE clause (Filter for a Filter) [^]

2.Datasource side
Use Filter to filter Data Table[^]
Use DataView to filter data table[^]

Finally this is important one that you want
SQL Server - LIKE[^]
