LINQPad is a freemium software utility for Microsoft .NET to interactively query SQL databases and other data sources such as OData or WCF Data Services using LINQ. To get the Autocompletion feature, its premium version has to be purchased.[1] 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.
