Seeing LINQ to SQL text when you can't use the profiler

Question

5.00/5 (1 vote)

See more:

I have a Windows application using LINQ to SQL with a database that's locked down (so that I can't use SQL Server Profiler on it).

I'd like to see the actual SQL text that the application is sending; what's the easiest way to see the SQL text sent using just the Windows application (and not the database)?

Try as below code:

TestDataContext testDataContext = new TestDataContext();

IQueryable<employee> myQuery =
  from emp in testDataContext.Employee
  where emp.EmployeeId == 123
  select emp;

string sqlCommand = testDataContext.GetCommand(myQuery).CommandText;</employee>

Apologies for un-formatted code. I tried to format it, but its does not seems to reflecting.
