Is there a tool out there which can convert SQL syntax to LINQ syntax?
I just want to rewrite basic queries with join, etc., to LINQ. It would save me a lot of time.
LINQ to SQL was the first object-relational mapping technology released by Microsoft. It works well in basic scenarios and continues to be supported in Visual Studio, but it's no longer under active development.
LINQ to SQL is a component of the . NET Framework that provides a run-time infrastructure for managing relational data as objects.
Add a LINQ to SQL class file. Drag and drop the respective table. Now, copy this code in the main method. We are creating an instance of sample datacontext class and then we are using this ExecuteQuery method to execute the SQL query.
LINQ queries are always executed when the query variable is iterated over, not when the query variable is created. This is called deferred execution. You can also force a query to execute immediately, which is useful for caching query results. This is described later in this topic.
Edit 7/17/2020: I cannot delete this accepted answer. It used to be good, but now it isn't. Beware really old posts, guys. I'm removing the link.
[Linqer] is a SQL to LINQ converter tool. It helps you to learn LINQ and convert your existing SQL statements.
Not every SQL statement can be converted to LINQ, but Linqer covers many different types of SQL expressions. Linqer supports both .NET languages - C# and Visual Basic.
