Hi!
At the end of last year, we asked you to tell us about the benefits Active Query Builder gives you. Among the obvious advantages that a visual builder must provide, we found one important, which has not been paid attention to until now.
One of the important advantages is the standardization of user queries. You wrote that Active Query Builder let users be more competent to write better, standardized queries, and that sounds promising. We've realized that in this aspect we can give much more than Active Query Builder can do now, and moved in this direction.
So, in the new version of Active Query Builder for WinForms and WPF we implemented the Query Inconsistency Alerts feature.
This is the system to notify users about logical errors admitted in the query. In the current version, this system works in a test mode, notifying only one problem: same-named columns in a subquery. However, I am sure you can name a lot of other situations that lead to errors, performance drops, or getting a result different from what the user expects. We will be grateful if you tell us about such situations you face in your work. We will examine each and give users advice how to avoid them. This will reduce the number of requests to your support.

We have been using Active Query Builder for over a year and must say that both the product and support have been outstanding!
We chose Active Query Builder due to its flexibility and features, but have been truly pleased by its power and hidden capabilities. ...
In summary Active Query Builder provides excellent components, great support and a very flexible feature set. It has allowed us to provide features to our end users that I did not think would be possible in the first release of our new tools and in a timeframe that was much shorter than planned. I would recommend that anyone dealing with databases in the .Net world should be aware of this component and its capabilities!
