"You are right. But i am stuck in the Beginning . how to start. Do i need to make each condition for combobox value?"

How I would start is to create a UserControl to handle it all - this makes your form code easier as you only have to add a single control when your user adds another "group". I would dump the combobox for AND / OR and replace it with two buttons (outside the UserControl) which replace the single button to add a new group.

Within the "group" you then just need to feed in the column names when you construct it and provide a "query" method to read out what the user has selected.

Does that make sense?
