CAML designer tool for SharePoint 2010 and SharePoint 2013

A good news for all SharePoint developers that needs a CAML Query builder for SharePoint 2010, Office 365 and SharePoint 15. The new tool named CAML Designer have a lot of functionalities and good support to Office 365 as well. This tool has been created by Karine Bosch and Andy Van Steenbergen. You can download it from the downloads tab of the BIWUG site or from Download link

This version of the CAML designer contains the following functionality:

• Log on using the SharePoint server object model, or the SharePoint client object model, or the web services
• CAML snippets for querying a SharePoint list
• Code snippets for the SharePoint server object model, the .NET Client object, the SharePoint web services.

You can connect three ways:
• using the server object model: this is when you are able to install the tool on the server where you installed SharePoint.
• using the client object model: this is when you need to connect remotely.
• using the SharePoint web services: this is when you need to connect remotely. Didn’t test it but it is possible you can use it on a SharePoint 2007 site.

Currently you can only build CAML queries for SharePoint 2010.

More detailed documentation on CAML and the CAML Designer can be found here.

Maximilian Melcher also recorded a video on the CAML Designer.
