Question

I want to translate LINQ expression tree to SQL statement and I don’t want to write my own code for this.

Example:

var query = from c in Customers where c.Country == 'UK' &&       c.City == 'London' select c); 

To

SELECT ... FROM Customers AS c WHERE c.Country = 'UK' AND c.City = 'London' 

I know DataContext.Log, but I want to use:

query.ToSqlStatementString() 

Answer 1

CustomDataContext dc = new CustomDataContext(); IQueryable<Customer> query =   from c in dc.Customer   where c.Country == 'UK'   select c; // string command = dc.GetCommand(query).CommandText;
