Drag and Drop Data Layer?? Here comes Visual LINQ Query Builder to the Rescue

by Don Burnett

The news of the week is this great new add-on for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, called Visual LINQ Query Builder, and it's almost the greatest thing since Sliced Bread (no lie)..

This tool lets you open a LINQ to SQL datacontext  (LINQtoSQL file) and create your queries from the database in LINQ by simply dragging and dropping files and tables (really whatever you need) on the designer as it constructs the query for you..

Even a designer will be happy with this tool.. Check it out for yourself with more info at Mitsu's Blog.. It makes life go a lot faster when creating a data layer..
