Welcome to NQuery!

NQuery is a relational query engine written in C#. It allows you to execute a SELECT query against .NET objects. It can use arrays, data sets, data tables or any other custom table binding. NQuery is completely extensible so that you can add custom functions, aggregates, constants and parameters.

In addition to the query engine itself this project also contains an integration assembly with Actipro's SyntaxEditor so that you can author queries very easily. This includes code completion, parameter info and syntax highlighting.

If you want to play around without reading the documentation you can download the demo application.

To see a list of the most important features see Features.

For details how to use NQuery see the Getting Started.

Prerequisites

This section describes which dependencies NQuery has and how NQuery can be built.

Visual Studio Version

To build NQuery with Visual Studio you will at least need Visual C# 2008 Express Edition. However, this only allows to build NQuery; some other features such as unit testing are not supported in this version of Visual Studio.

  • Visual C# Express 2008 Express Edition You cannot run unit tests, create code coverage information or perform static code analysis.

  • Visual Studio 2008 Professional. You cannot create code coverage information or perform static code analysis.

  • Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Development Edition or higher No restrictions.

Third Party Dependencies

If you only need to compile NQuery itself you don't neet any third party dlls.

Actipro

To build the editor integration you will need Actipro Syntax Editor. NQuery provides an integration for version 4.0.

SandDock

To provide a modern look & feel the demo application uses the SandDock docking library. NQuery itself does not require SandDock.

Sandcastle

The documentation is built using Sandcastle. In addition to Sandcastle itself NQuery also relies on the Sandcastle Style Patch and Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB). If you don't want to create the documentation you don't need these tools.

WiX

To build the setup you will need Windows Installer XML (WiX).

Command Line Build

The build.bat in the build folder creates a full release build. Here, the term 'full' means that not only the project is compiled but also the demo application, help file, and setup is generated. The Build folder contains additional batch files running clean-, debug-, and compile-only-builds. All batch files simply invoke MSBuild to run the Build.proj script.

The build artifacts are placed in the folder "Output".

Have fun!
