I have been twiddling around with LINQ these past few days and cam across two tools that I really like and pretty much use them for all my LINQ query construction.
The first tool is a visual studio 2008 add-in called Visual LINQ Query Builder.
There is a good blog from the guy that helped write here http://blogs.msdn.com/mitsu/archive/2008/04/02/visual-linq-query-builder-for-linq-to-sql-vlinq.aspx
and you can download the setup file from the following location.

This only runs in the full blown VS tools so if your running the express editions you should probably try the next one I am going to list.
The next one is called LINQPad. This is another good tool but without the VS integration. You can download it from http://www.linqpad.net/ and its pretty speedy and the download is only about 2mb.
These tools have help me out quiet a bit here recently so I thought I should give them some props :)
I’m out… By the way… Did you vote today?
