how to see generated sql from a linq query

Question

Just trying to get the sql that is generated by a linq query.

Answer 1

The easiest way i could suggest is to go with Database Log. Put Logafter initializing DataContext and you will be able to track whatever is done by EF on visual studio output window.

  DataContext db = new DataContext();
  db.Database.Log = generatedSQL =>
   {
      Debug.WriteLine(generatedSQL);
   };
