linqpad

 

LINQPad is a free software utility for Microsoft .NET developers using LINQ. It allows developers to interactively query SQL databases and other data sources such WCF Data Services using LINQ.

LINQPad supports the following LINQ dialects:

  • LINQ to Objects
  • LINQ to SQL
  • Entity Framework
  • LINQ to XML


It also supports writing queries in SQL as well.

Aside from being useful for writing queries, LINQPad can be used to interactively write C# code without having to compile it. This expands its use to a general "test workbench" where C# code can be quickly prototyped outside of Visual Studio.
