Filter datatable using an array of values?

I have a datatable called dt which includes a column called type
I have a string array called typestringarray with about 15 members

I want to create a new datatable from the rows where type is a member of typestringarray

here's a simplified example of my problem:

dt

id type
1 red
2 blue
3 orange
4 green
5 pink
6 green

typestringarray = {"red", "blue", "green")

so my new table would be

id type
1 red
2 blue
4 green
6 green

I'm not sure how to start.

defaultview.rowfilter doesn't look right, as my filter would have 15 or more OR clauses.

There must be a really simple answer that I'm missing?

Nope, you'd need 15 SQL statements, but you could use a LOOP

Try:

{"red", "blue", "green"}.Contains(type)

as you itterate through dt

You should be able to use an IN clause... no?

Code:

---

.RowFilrer = "Field IN ('Red','Green','Blue')"
