Arthur, I hope that you find it useful. I wish I'd have downloaded it when I first got exposed to LINQ a couple of years ago. I'd be using it more now. LINQ is kinda laborious to explain. If you don't set up an Object Relational Model in Visual Studio, then you won't get the Intellisense benefit. Not that making an ORM is any hardship; it's just that it's another object type that needs to be compiled into your .NET project. But with LINQPad, you can avoid the ORM. It's very much like Intellisense in SSMS...it's just there after you've connected to a data source. LINQPad also comes with quite a bit of sample code gleaned from Albahari's books and presentations. There's a list of additional resources for downloading as samples into LINQPad that you can pick from right there in LINQPad...but I'm not certain if that's only with the paid version.
