by David Hayden, Microsoft MVP C#, Filed: .NET Tools, ADO.NET Entity Framework
Zlatko Michailov, the Program Manager for Entity Services, just blogged about eSqlBlast:
“Microsoft.Samples.Data.eSqlBlast, briefly eSqlBlast, is a suite of tools and libraries that complements Entity Framework. It aids authoring, executing, and visualizing ad-hoc Entity SQL queries against arbitrary EDM models. The tools of the eSqlBlast suite may be used interactively, from the command line, or embedded in other programs. The eSqlBlast suite also contains XSL transformation scripts for rendering CSDL and its own raw XML format.“
Sounds very, very cool. Download it from here.
