LinqLite

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: LINQ

Author: Jason Allor

Library that provides a set of base and helper classes suitable for quickly creating a custom LINQ Provider over a simple data set or web resource.
LinqLite does not support the full set of LINQ syntax. It does not support joins, for example. However, it does support the core set of LINQ expressions that you’re likely to find yourself using 90% of the time for simple queries over a simple data provider. The advantage is that using LinqLite is a less expensive way to expose an IQueryable over your back-end data provider.

Linqer

Categories: LINQ

Author: Mikhail Oumantsev

Latest version: 4.0.2
Added 2009-10-03Updated 2011-05-17

SQL to LINQ converter.

Linqer will help you to learn LINQ and convert your existing SQL statements.
Not every SQL statement can be converted to LINQ, but Linqer covers many different types of SQL expressions.
Linqer supports both C# and VB.NET.
Because LINQ is a part of C# and VB languages, it is sensitive to data types conversions. Linqer performs the required type castings in the produced LINQ statements.
Linqer can convert the most useful SQL Server functions.

Continuous LINQ

Categories: LINQ

Latest version: 2.1
Added 2009-08-02

.NET 3.5 extension that builds on the LINQ query syntax to create continuous, self-updating result sets.
In traditional LINQ queries, you write your query and get stale results. With Continuous LINQ, you write a query and the results of that query are continuously updated as changes are made to the source collection or items within the source collection.

CLINQ is especially useful in GUI development and in binding to filtered streams of data such as financial or other network message data.

Huagati Query Profiler

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: LINQ

Author: Huagati Systems Co.

Latest version: 1.20
Added 2009-10-03Updated 2009-12-11

Runtime profiling tools for LINQ to SQL and LLBLGen Pro.
Huagati Query Profiler is a toolkit that enables runtime profiling of LINQ to SQL, and LLBLGen Pro based software accessing SQL Server databases. It consists of the Huagati Linq-to-SQL Profiler and Huagati LLBLGen Profiler runtime components, and a profiler log explorer application.

The runtime components are designed to be integrated and distributed with applications that are using either LINQ to SQL, or LLBLGen Pro for accessing SQL Server. The runtime components add functionality to log and profile database query cost and performance throughout the lifespan of an application; during development, test, and in live production environments. Runtime filters allow application developers to target specific SQL query behavior such as excessive reads, excessive execution times, table scans, queries with no matching indexes, and many other scenarios that can have an impact on database and application performance.

Use the profiler to proactively detect potential performance bottlenecks, and to gain an understanding of how your applications interact with the underlying database(s).

Bindable LINQ

 Home Page Home Page

Categories: LINQ, Rich client UI

Latest version: 1.0 Beta 1
Added 2008-06-02

Set of extensions to LINQ that add data binding and change propagation capabilities to standard LINQ queries.
As well as propagating change, Bindable LINQ can analyse your queries at runtime and detect any dependencies your query has. If these dependencies provide events to subscribe to, Bindable LINQ will automatically monitor them for change.
The aim of Bindable LINQ is to be fully compatible with LINQ to Objects, at least where it makes sense. This currently includes support for operations such as Where, Select, GroupBy and Union. Aggregates, such as Sum, Min, Max and Average, are also supported.
Designed for Windows Presentation Foundation, Silverlight, and Windows Forms.
