Download CAML Query Designer

There have been so many occasions where we needed to quickly browse through the available lists and create quick queries. We needed something that can be used by both developers as well as System administrators. We couldn’t find anything that suited our needs so we resorted to developing our own. I figured it needs to be a desktop tool so anyone can just run it on their machine and connect to any SharePoint site. So here we release the tool to the SharePoint community as a free utility – CAML Query Builder.

This utility has the below features available:

1. Supports SharePoint 2010/2013/Online.
2. Site Manager which remembers your settings and sites information, so you can use them for later time. (All the information is encrypted.). You can save as many connections as you want.
3. This utility shows the all lists and libraries from the site you requested and also it will show all the subsites and lists in the site as well.
4. Better UX design which will help users to better use the tool. Below are the modules available to configure and generate your query.
   1. View Fields: To select what fields to show in the query results.
   2. Order By: used for sorting the results.
   3. Filters: To add where clauses. (Right now grouping support not available.)
   4. Query Options: To select any additional options for generating CAML Query.
5. This tool also gives the below advantages other than simply generating query.
   1. Gives CAML Query output
   2. Generates Server Side Object Model Code. So, you can simply hook the piece of code  directly.
   3. Generates Managed Client Object Model Code.
   4. Generates Java script (ECMAScript) Client Object Model Code.

   6. Generates PowerShell script code.

10. Along with the query generation, this tool also has the support of showing all list information.
