It will be pushed on NuGet.org after more tests and some missing features implementations.

Example

This example demonstrates how to use LINQ to SOQL. In this example, we search 10 accounts where name starts with "Company" and industry is "Biotechnology".

Then we can iterate their contacts and cases using lazy loading.

This Linq provider is written in FSharp but is originally made to be used in CSharp

var impersonationParam = new Rest.OAuth.ImpersonationParam(clientId, clientId, securityToken, username, password);
var context = new SalesforceDataContext("eu11", impersonationParam);

var accounts = (from a in context.Accounts
                where !a.Name.StartsWith("Company")
                    && a.Industry == PickAccountIndustry.Biotechnology
                select a).Take(10);
foreach (var account in accounts)
{
    WriteLine($"Account {account.Name} Industry: {account.Industry}");
    var contacts = account.Contacts;
    foreach (var contact in contacts)
    {
        WriteLine($"contact: {contact.Name} - {contact.Phone} - {contact.LeadSource}");

        var cases = contact.Cases;
        foreach (var @case in cases)
        {
            WriteLine($"case: {@case.Id}");
        }
    }
}

Solutions will be proposed next.

For FSHARP developpers

Using a type provider could be really useful to visualize your salesforce data with Atom and FSlab.

Futur developments

For MONO users

Salesforce deactivate old SSL protocol versions.

So we need to use something difficult to use with MONO:

ServicePointManager.SecurityProtocol = SecurityProtocolType.Tls12 | SecurityProtocolType.Tls11;
