  • Linqer – a nice tool for SQL to LINQ transition

    Almost all .NET developers who have been working in several applications up to date are probably familiar with writing SQL queries for specific needs within the application. Before LINQ as a technology came on scene, my daily programming life was about 60-70% of the day writing code either in the front-end (ASPX, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML/CSS etc…) or in the back-end (C#, VB.NET etc…), and about 30-40% writing SQL queries for specific needs used within the application. Now, when LINQ is there, I feel that the percentage for writing SQL queries got down to about 10% per day. I don’t say it won’t change with time depending what technology I use within the projects or what way would be better, but since I’m writing a lot LINQ code in the latest projects, I thought to see if there is a tool that can automatically translate SQL to LINQ so that I can transfer many queries as a LINQ statements within the code.
