Suggestion: Linq Builder

I've spent a couple minutes reviewing linq, so please forgive me if this is already available.

Also, Linq may not be complex enough to need a such query builder and/ora linq query builder might not be feasible, but I thought I'd suggestthe following.
Query Builder
  • A "query builder" for linq. Perhaps a developer could select an object, right-click, and click "Use Linq Builder...".
    At this point, a linq query builder is displayed and the developer could write linq code against the particular object.
    Once the end-result is acceptable (linq code returning the desired information), the linq code would be inserted into the appropriate spot within the "real" code.

Hmm...

This would be useful for building a library of queries to reference later.



class static Queries
{
static var FooQuery =
(this collType coll, string param) => coll.Where(...param...).Select(...);
}

var foo = bar.FooQuery("baz");

We are working right now on defining what the design time experience for LINQ will look like. We are considering the idea of a query builder. It will end up being a matter of resources vs. benefits (as always).
