  1. I love the new feature where you can load other linqpad files with the #load directive this makes my linqpad file way more reusable and modular, however...

    When I have 3 files where file 1 includes file 2 and file 2 includes file 3 then file 1 also have to include file 3 even when not using any functionality from file 3 in file 1.

    It would be great if file 1 does not have to include file 3.

  2. Put resource dll's into subdirectories, similar to where they were originally: e.g., .\ja-JP\x.resources.dll; .zh-CHS\x.resources.dll, etc.

  3. I made a script to modify a registry key, and I realized I needed to run it as an admin for the script to work. I needed to save the script first, so I could close LinqPad, and reopen it as an admin. Some way to elevate the current query, or reopen LinqPad as admin without needing to save would be cool.

  4. Possibility to add custom aggregates like sum, average over custom types for the Dump method.

    Currently you get a sum/average underneath columns containing int's etc. (except if they are formatted through ToDump).

    It would be nice to do something similar as ToDump for custom types, and or types like TimeSpans, Dates, etc.

  6. Since a SelectBox can have multiple selections, it would be useful to have a constructor overload which takes in a List<int> to specify multiple SelectedIndexes.

  7. It would be useful to have a tab before "My queries" with the preferred queries to get a link to start them quickly, also visible in the search query, to simply find the correct script.

    We have thousands of queries in 8 years that we use LINQPad.

  8. I just upgraded to LINQPad 6, and I cannot see the views from my database, only the tables.
    I am connecting to a MySQL database.
    I was able to see the views in LINQPad 5 just before the upgrade.
    Thanks.

  9. I don't mean a fully support as it's hard to do. Just Commit and Merge or something like that. I don't mind on configure the first time the repositorioes, but it would be nice too. Maybe something like the Team Explorer (Idk if you can take advantage of that). I use multiples PCs and I do that manually from the console (easier to forget to do it).

  13. It would be great if there was an option for each NuGet package in the LinqPad NuGet manager that allows you to set a package to auto update when a new version of the package is released.

    We connect LinqPad to internal NuGet packages and the consumers of these packages should always be up to date with the latest versions of our internal packages.

  14. I mean, come on... this is a brilliant idea! The beauty and power of VSCode, plus the beauty and power of LINQPad?

    LINQPad could inherit the editor features of VSCode and output its results in a separate pane.

    BANANAS!

  16. in visual studio when A file is opened in the top of the window for the current file there's a dropdown that you can easily navigate into functions / procedures / etc, like a outline of your current file
    anyhow, in linqpad the unique dropdowns are to code (C#, VBNET, …) - that In my case I just use C# or sql and another one for connection -> both I believe that are useful - but I don't even use/change in most scripts
    so having a 3rd one (since connections takes a lot of space - or choose between connections…

  17. When right-clicking on a query, add an option to close queries to the right of currently selected query. Dialog-wise when handling unsaved queries is at your discretion, but I can see something as follows:
    -If there's no unsaved queries, don't prompt asking to save.
    -If there's one unsaved query, do a prompt asking to "Save Query X?".
    -If there are multiple unsaved queries, do a prompt asking to "Close all unsaved queries to the right of [currently selected query name]

  18. Add editor command to insert a new GUID into the query text.
    The current workaround requires opening another tab and running Guid.NewGuid() command there, then copy-pasting back to original query.

  19. allow for relative reference to a config file.... something like.....

    [QueryPath]\app.config

    and/or

    currently if no path info is supplied (just file name) the LP app assumes the file location to be the folder of LP.... maybe look in query path folder first?

    This would allow for more portability of scripts... might be able to just package up the folder... relative references will allow things to run on the other end without having to make path tweaks.
