When you're creating an app that uses Linq and you want to see the SQL that is generated, you can attach to the Log property of the DataContext.

To get this to stream to the DebugWindow, use the following bit of code (credits to Kris Vandermotten - http://www.u2u.info/Blogs/Kris/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=11)

using System;
