Select method in List Collection

I have an asp.net application, and now I am using datasets for data manipulation. I recently started to convert this dataset to a List collection. But, in some places it doesn't work. One is that in my old version I am using datarow[] drow = dataset.datatable.select(searchcriteria). But in the List collection there is no method available for finding particular values. Is there any way for me to select some values according with my search criteria? I want to know if this is possible. Please help me.
