Need help with an SQL query and creating Variables for my application??

Right now I'm filling my dataset by adding a query to my tableadapter
and filling by a specific field value in my ADO.net program.  I would
also like to come up with some way to replace the Specific Field "Desk"
in my code and place a variable in there that can be replaced with
anything.

Select * from DataTable Where (Desk = @DeskValue)  ' and I name this
query works great.

Select * from DataTable Where (@Field = @Value) 'This doesn't work for
me, but want to know if there is another way to do this?

Since I don't know  your business logic behind it , I can only guess

declare @sql nvarchar(1000),
@col  sysname,
@orderid int

select @col='OrderID', @orderid=10248

set @sql = 'select * from Northwind..Orders where '+@col+'= @ordid'
exec sp_executesql @sql, N'@ordid int',@orderid
