Is there a tool out there which can convert SQL syntax to LINQ syntax? I just want to rewrite basic queries with join, etc, to LINQ. It would save me a lot of time.
Cheers!

For what it does, the tool is what I need right now. The down side, it assigns, t0, t1, etc for my table names, but it did convert my query, and it did catch the distinct clause I used.THANKS!

I know that this isn't what you asked for but LinqPad is a really great tool to teach yourself Linq (and it's free :o). You can get it here.
When time isn't critical, I have been using it for the last week or so instead or a querey window in SQL Server and my Linq skills are getting better and better.

Thanks, I do use LinqPad, but in this case time is a factor and I need something to do the translation.

Linqer does not work properly on anything that might seem complex. It takes less time to use linqpad and figure it out yourself. It seems like a bit of a useless tool for anyone that works with linq every day.

Sorry that was a while ago... As i remember it was a group by that did not really convert nicely. I was probably frustrated because it took me longer to get linqer to give me a result than just sitting with linqpad. Pity I can't be specific. :(
