Active Query Builder WinForms Edition is a visual query builder component suite to let your end-users build complex SQL queries, as well as to parse, analyse SQL queries and represent them visually. Its powerful API allows you to parse complex SQL queries for programmatic analysis and modification. Active Query Builder is a real two-way query builder so that you can combine visual query building with direct SQL query text editing.

Active Query Builder built with standard Windows Forms controls. It seamlessly integrates into a WinForms application and always look native with any Windows theme and OS version.

With Active Query Builder you can easily add objects to your query by dragging them from the database objects tree or using the Add Object window. Objects can be grouped by the database, schema name and object type.

Objects linked with foreign keys are joined automatically. You can allow or deny the end-user to create and remove joins manually.
