Create an SQL Temporary Table in VB.Net

I need to create a temporary table in SQL (#results) That I can then bind to a Listview to display the results a a search that will be persistant for as long as the user is logged in. The search results fields willl vary dependant on the criteria, and the query SQL will be build up depending on the criteria, so I need to programmatically create the temporary table, populate it and then bind it to the listview.
Clearly, static tables are no good, as different users will be searching on different things at the same time. I know how to create temporary table in SQL natively, but need some help to create them dynamically in VBH.net.
I don't think stored procedures are the solution either as every query will be slightly different.

Any help would be much appreciated.

If you create the query and run it on your database, just populate a datatable in your code. Then it's also a temporary table

Thanks great answer! I really should have thought of that!! I got my mind set on temp tables, and missed the obvious. The solution is great, thanks.

Next time try to be honest with the points and if you accept an answer that's the same as another comment (with some more info), the least you can do is to split the points (give more points to the item you find the most usefull)
