Question

How can i convert linq to object query or any other Func delegate to string like sql statements

for example

var cat_list = new List<Cat> { ... };

var myquery = cat_list.Where(x => x.Age > 2 && x.Name.Contains("Kitty"));

Now myquery is IEnumerable<Cat>. how can i convert this to simply something like this

"Age > @p1 AND Name LIKE @p2"

how can i achieve this ??

Doing something like that is not simple. Have a look at the series of articles Building an IQueryable provider by Matt Warren. All the code he uses is available as a library too. That should help you get started.
