Is it possible to step into a linq query? I have a linq to entity framework 4 query in it's simplest form:

List = List.Where(f => f.Value.ToString().ToLowerInvariant().Contains(filter.ToLowerInvariant()));

It's a query against an Entity Framework DbContext and I'm having trouble seeing why it works for something like:

List searching for 001 yields no results against the following list

  1. Test001
  2. Test002
  3. Test003
  4. Test004

However any other search yields results (Such as t00 or Test)

I was hoping to figure out a way to see the resulting sql but it appears that I need Intellitrace, which I don't currently have or possibly stepping through the query itself and see each iteration build itself.
