I have a DataTable X, if I now want to search for a certain entry, would it be faster/better to use BindingSource.Filter, X.Select() or just foreach?

I can’t comment on performance, but your code will be most versatile if you use
X.Select(), because you are operating directly on the source.Also consider setting
X.PrimaryKeyand usingx.Rows.Find()if the row you’re searching for can be located by performing an equality comparison on one (or more) columns. This option is generally faster than theSelect()method.
