Copy and Paste to Visual Studio
In a C# app, my code is often:
DataClassesDataContext db = new DataClassesDataContext();Then the Linq code is, for example
var results = from answer in db.Answers
where answer.Score > 20
select answerBasically, this cannot be copied and pasted to / from LinqPad as the tables are in the DataContext. db. breaks linqPad / VS when it is copied back in.
Would be nice to be able to define the name of the DataContext globally (default), or for each query.

Support for custom DateTime formatting (also for TimeSpan etc.)
LINQPad's results use the default ToString method. I would be excellent if you could register certain types to have a custom rendering.

Support entity models embedded in another assembly
Right now selecting another DLL causes it to do "AssemblyName.csdl|AssemblyName.msl|AssemblyName.ssdl" which doesn't work

put "X" to close a tab in the tab itself, like VS2010
Like the change from VS2008 to VS2010, the "X" icon to close a file is on the right-hand side of the tab (at least for western languages)

A Visual Studio addin: right-click on method, choose "run in LinqPad"
From VS, right-click on selected method, choose "Run in LinqPad". It creates a new query, copies the method from the source, adds using statements from the top of the file, and reference dlls used by the project. Likely would also need a way to reference other code files within the same project and/or reference the current dll

Shortcut for Replace
Control-F is now used for Find & Replace. Adding Control-H for Replace would bring it in-line with Visual Studio. I first thought Replace was not implemented until I found it under Search

result clear
Hi;
Can you add a button on the Result section that will allow us to "Clear" the result area?
Thanks!

Run a script with Microsoft's CLR Profiler
It would be great to be able to run profilers from LINQPad without creating a new VS project to get an exe for anything that i'd want to profile. This goes toward the "Pad" part more than the LINQ part of this program.

Tabbed Results Window + Pinned Tabs = Easily See the Results of Multiple Iterations of the Query
By default it would only ever create a single results tab and replace the results in that tab every time you ran the query.
However, if you pinned that tab, the next time you ran the query it would instead create a new tab and leave the old one untouched. This would allow users to work on a query and easily compare the outputs of different versions of that query.
A nice bonus would be a link that lets you retrieve the code that produced a particular tab's results.

sticky column headings in results view
I can see that there are sticky columns in the grid, but it was also be great to have them in the results view.
Perhaps when scrolling between different result sets it sticks to the current visible result set.

Date picker on data grid
It would be handy to have some sort of date picker and/or perhaps auto-insert of the current datetime in the data grid.

Add support for System.Console.Error.WriteLine
As of v4.45.05, calls to System.Console.Error.WriteLine appear to be silently ignored. It would be nice to see this output, ideally in a red font. This post linked below suggests using Util.Highlight("text").Dump(). Perhaps System.Console.Error.WriteLine could automatically map to this, much as System.Console.WriteLine automatically maps now. This would make LINQPad samples more portable.

Save text files
I would like to save text files, such as .txt, .csv, .config, etc.
Sometimes I just need to tweak a line of text in a file I'm reading in. If I try to do this in LINQPad, when I save it tries to change the type to a LINQ query file.
At this point I then need to open the file in a different editor, and copy/paste all the text to save my changes without losing them.
Could there be an extra language option of "none", which just saves as plain text. When opening a file with an unrecognised extension…

Make it see the files in Skydrive folder that are not fully downloaded yet and are presently only the metadata.
I use SkyDrive to keep my queries synced between various devices but I noticed on Windows 8.1 that it does not show them unless I have "opened" them locally even though the "stub" of the file shows in the directory. It would be nice if LINQPad would show them all and even open them in a way compatible with SkyDrive if I selected one that was not yet fully downloaded.

A keyboard shortcut for Dump() method.
I hate typing Dump with proper casing all the time. Linqpad increases developer efficiency for sure. I think a tool specifically designed to make a developer's life easier, CANNOT afford not to have a keyboard shortcut for a frequently used feature. One of them of Dump(). The shortcut should be context sensitive, it should when to add semicolon and when not to.

Add unicode output for Dump
I work with a lot of translations and use LINQPad to process CSV files and it would be a nice feature to see characters fromChinese, Korean in the output.

View a diff before I hit save
Allow me to see a diff before I hit save.
Quite often I might have made some changes to a saved query, and days / hours later don't know what I changed and if I want to keep the change.
My current workaround is to save to a new filename and run kdiff, but it would be nice to integrate this feature into the program.
I could just put all my snippets in a repo, but that is probably overkill for most people. As .linq files are just text files this should be relatively straightforward.

Please provide in-program and online Find-Replace tool documentation.
The help menu item doesn't appear to give any help on how to use the program's find and replace tool. What are the wild-cards and regular expression features that the tool supports. Does it support beginning-line and ending anchors, multiline search patterns, etc.
