LinqBox: Unified LINQ Query Tester for .NET
Open source, standalone app for testing LINQ queries across various data sources directly from Visual Studio, supporting SQL databases, CSV files, JSON documents and more.
What is LinqBox?
LinqBox is an open-source, standalone .NET application designed for easily and quickly testing LINQ queries across a wide variety of data sources directly within Visual Studio. It allows developers to experiment with LINQ queries against databases via Entity Framework, raw ADO.NET entities, CSV & TSV files, JSON and XML documents and more using a consistent, unified interface.
The tool provides an intuitive GUI where users can connect to a data source (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.), browse schema and data as well as build and execute LINQ queries to project, filter, sort, aggregate and transform the data. The results are visualized in real-time as the query is built. Queries can be saved for later reuse. Users can write LINQ in either fluent query syntax or lambda expressions.
Key features include Entity Framework integration for querying databases via LINQ to Entities, custom LINQ provider extensibility, parameterized queries, comparison of different LINQ providers, execution plan visualization, LINQPad script editing and more. LinqBox is a very useful productivity tool for .NET developers looking to quickly prototype and test LINQ queries when building or maintaining .NET applications.
