title: How can I use, in Visual Studio 2017, the "C# Interactive" window to query a source in my "Data Connections"
body: <p>I'm connected to an external SQL server in my "Data Connections" (in the "Server Explorer" view). I can right click my SQL source and click "New Query" to quickly look up data with SQL statements.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to use LINQ instead and I think the "C# Interactive" window would be a good and quick way to do this. My problem is that I don't know how to access my 'open' data connection. The name of the database or tables are not recognized.</p>
