.net - How to Convert LINQ Comprehension Query Syntax to Method Syntax using Lambda

Question

Is there a tool, process or a solution that will convert the following LINQ Query Syntax to Method Syntax with Lambdas (dot notation)? I would expect the solution to convert the following Query Syntax to a Method Syntax such as this.

var filteredEmployees = 
    from employee in allEmployees
    where employee.DepartmentID < 4 && employee.EmployeeID < 10
    orderby employee.DepartmentID descending,
            employee.LastName descending
    select employee;

To the following

var filteredEmployees2 = allEmployees.Where(employee => ((employee.DepartmentID < 4) && (employee.EmployeeID < 10)))
        .OrderByDescending(employee => employee.DepartmentID)
        .ThenByDescending(employee => employee.LastName);

I'm would like to use this to learn Method Syntax better.

LINQPad is a good tool for what you need. I "stole" the following screenshot from their website to better illustrate how it works. If you write a query using linq syntax you can click on the button highlighted in red to see the equivalent lambda syntax:
