Set a default FilterField FilterValue to a custom SPView programmatically

Question

Hi ,
I have create a custom SPView in order to assign it to my XsltListViewWebPart.
But i need to reproduce or set programmatically a FilterField / FilterValue.
I dont need CAML Query because my user need to change the filter's column as he pleases. If i use a CAML query, my pool of records will be limited. And i need a visual filter only.
Is there a solution to reproduce this mecanism ?
Regards.
Gilles.

SPSite oSite = new SPSite([Site URL]);// [Site URL] change it to your sharepoint site URL
SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb();
SPList oList = oWeb.Lists["your list"];
SPViewCollection oViewCollection = oList.Views;
string strViewName = "MyCustomView";
System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection viewFields =
new System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection();
//The fields that you want on the view
viewFields.Add("Name");
viewFields.Add("Type");
string query = "<Where><Eq><FieldRef Name=\"Name\"/>" +
"<Value Type=\"Text\">yourValue</Value></Eq></Where>";// here you can filter your items using the selected
item in the dropdownlist
oViewCollection.Add(strViewName, viewFields, query, 100, true, false);
oWeb.Update();
