​LINQPad is a free tool that dot net developers use. It is like a dot net developer playground because it is used for various purposes. This tool can be used for,

• Writing a LINQ query and test it out.
• Connecting with the database.
• Connecting with the WCF service.
• Write C#, F#, and VB code.

There are many applications that have many clients and one server architecture. But LINQPad uses a different approach. It uses one client and many servers architecture. Every query in LINQPad has a separate server. It comes with some features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, data representation, and red underlines for incorrect code. LINQPad 5 uses the Microsoft ‘Roslyn‘ library for compiling, parsing, and binding. This makes LINQPad more efficient than any other tool.
