Translate LINQ to sql statement

Question

I want to translate LINQ expression tree to SQL statement and I don't want to write my own code for this.

Example:

var query = from c in Customers
where c.Country == "UK" &&
      c.City == "London"
select c);

To

SELECT ... FROM Customers AS c WHERE c.Country = "UK" AND c.City = "London"

I know DataContext.Log, but I want to use:

query.ToSqlStatementString()

Answer 1

CustomDataContext dc = new CustomDataContext();
IQueryable<Customer> query =
  from c in dc.Customer
  where c.Country == "UK"
  select c;
//
string command = dc.GetCommand(query).CommandText;
