Answer 2

To go from LINQ -> SQL try this:

        var db = new DBModelDataContext();
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter(sb);
        db.Log = sw; //set the writer

        var items = (from rec in db.Table1
                     select rec).ToList();

        var sql = sb.ToString(); //here is the SQL from LINQ.

Answer 3

I tried linqpad but its not for converting SQL to linq but its actual use is to replace sql with linq to query your database

however I think linqer is the right choice if you like to convert SQL query to LINQ. you can download it from their official site.

See this existing thread.

If you decide to do it by hand, Linqpad should be useful.
