Extract sql query from LINQ expressions

Question

Is it possible to extract sql statements from LINQ queries ?

Say, I have this LINQ expression.

        string[] names =
            ne

A easier method I found was to use the Command Window and you did not need to input any additional code. Here you can print a linq statement called query to the query window:

? ((System.Data.Objects.ObjectQuery) query).ToTraceString()
