CAML Designer for SP2013

As you probably know the U2U Caml Query Builder was taken out and it is unavailable to download at this moment. In the other you could have your saved copy of the older versions of U2U Caml Query Builder, but unfortunately they are also not compatible with SharePoint 2013.

The alternative:






 These good guys at BIWUG (http://www.biwug.be/resources) have published a cool tool called: CAML Designer, it has a nice "Metro" UI and several cool features:

• Connects against SP2010, SP2013 and Office 365 (If you want to use Caml Designer together with O365. It can be that you first have to install the SP 2013 Server SDK first, because of a dll that is needed by MS.SP.Client.dll to connect  via de CSOM)
• Query generation tools: ViewFields, OrderBy, Where, Query Options and Online Test.
• Auto-generated source code for: CAML, Server OB, CSOM .NET, CSOM REST, Web Services and also PowerShell !!
• Debug info while testing queries.

I have tried this awesome tool with SP2013 and it works very good.
