Lambda tab empty on simple query

zbynekz

I can see the lambda tab populated after executing LINQ to SQL queries. But it remains empty after executing a query such as "A simple query expression" in "LINQPad 5 minute induction". Shouldn't it display the query in method syntax in this case as well?

No, you need to ensure you're using IQueryable extensions to get the lambda tab to work. I.e. add .AsQueryable() to the end of the in clause.

Great, thank you. Yes, it is clear that one needs to have IQueryable in order for the lambda tab to show something. I was kind of assuming that by using the query syntax, this is always done automatically. But it was a wrong assumption...
