linqpad.net — Tired of querying in antiquated SQL? Well, you don't have to! LINQPad lets you interactively query SQL databases in a modern query language: LINQ. Kiss goodbye to SQL Management Studio! LINQPad supports everything in C# 3.0 and Framework 3.5: * LINQ to SQL * LINQ to Objects * LINQ to XML LINQPad is also a terrific tool for learning LINQ: it comes preloaded with 200 examples from the recently released C# 3.0 in a Nutshell. There's no better way to experience the coolness of LINQ and functional programming.

tell me about it.

Somewhat off topic, but Is there a way to compile a .Net application so that it doesn't require the .Net framework? I remember reading about this in Joel Spolsky's book.

Not really. There are some solutions out there that copy only the .NET dlls you need and make them standalone...but at the end of the day, for a reasonable WinForms or WPF app, you're downloading several MB worth of dlls. Combine that with the fact that by doing this you lose automatic security or performance upgrades per .NET service packs, and the effort just isn't worth it.

Why bother when .NET is installed by default on the latest OSes? Vista ships with .NET 3 installed.
