SQL

SELECT Col1, Col2, Col3 
FROM Table1
WHERE (Col1 IS NOT NULL)
AND (Col2 IS NOT NULL)
AND (Col3 IS NOT NULL)

This will show only rows where all three columns have non null values. If you want rows that have one or two non null values use OR instead of AND.

Solution 2

you can try following LINQ query:

C#

var a = from p in obj.tableName where p.Col1 != null && p.Col2 != null select p;

If you are going through SQL query only then uper sollution is fine.
