You can do limited where statements with the Visual Studio Wizards. When you need more than a limited statement you can dynamicly create an Parameter to add to your Linq DataSource.

The following examples shows how to filter the Linq Datasource that recovers all rows from the Post table and filters them on the BlogId. The BlogManager.CurrentBlogId gets the blog GUID from the Session.

[code:c#]
   Parameter whereparam = new Parameter();
   whereparam.Name = "BlogId";
   whereparam.DefaultValue = BlogManager.CurrentBlogId.ToString();
   whereparam.Type = TypeCode.Object;
   linqDataSource.WhereParameters.Add(whereparam);
   linqDataSource.Where = "BlogId == Guid(@BlogId)";
[/code]

You convert the @BlogId (string) to a Guid In the linqDataSource.Where property otherwise you get the following error:

Operator ‘==’ incompatible with operand types ‘Guid’ and ‘String’
