  1. Would be great if LINQPad supported WIndows 10 ARM64 build.
    As of Feb 2020 .NET 5 preview doesn't support Windows Forms and WPF and will be released in Nov 2020 and .NET 3.1 doesn't support ARM64 Windows devices at this time.
    Thanks

  2. With SQL Azure in general and now specifically with the new serverless option it would be great to be able to enable the various ADO.NET and EF Core resiliency options so that you do not get a timeout on startup or when there is a transient failure. Both are just settings for number of times to retry, the retry interval, etc.

    For EF Core with SQL you can use something like
    optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(cstr,
    sqlServerOptionsAction: sqlOptions =>
    {
    sqlOptions.EnableRetryOnFailure(
    maxRetryCount: 18,
    maxRetryDelay: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),
    errorNumbersToAdd: null);
    })

    In ADO.NET you can do it in the connection string parameters

    ConnectRetryCount=18;ConnectRetryInterval=5;Timeout=90

    Thank you

  3. In the Samples tab, add previous C# version samples. For example:
    What's New in C# 7.3, 7.2, 7.1
    What's New in C# 6.0
    etc...

    Many times, I reference your samples to help 'jog my memory' for syntax and when/where C# language features were introduced.

  4. Assign shortcut Ctrl+Shift+S to Save As

    Microsoft, as a general implementation, does not assign a shortcut key to Save As functionality. But much of the rest of the development/utility community does. The ability to rename a tab is a useful workaround, but I'd prefer consistency with other applications especially in cases where I'm modifying an existing query (that I haven't cloned).

  6. When using the linqpad driver with EF Core and provide my own assembly, i want to quickly change the connectionstring via the connection dropdown.

    I could add every database to a own connection entry, but i want to specify the databaseserver and then quickly change the database.

  7. When working with temporal tables there is no way to use LinqPad to alter / insert entites because it attempts to set values on AsRowStart columns -- and so the insert/updates will fail.

    It would be nice to be able to exclude a column from consideration in a context / entity as this would solve this problem.

  10. On clicking Add connection sap bo sttle join dialog will appear where one may define relation with other tables. In many databasese relations may not be defined explicitly. This feature solves the priblem.

  11. It would be nice to be able to edit the appsettings.json file, directly from the query properties windows (F4), comparable to the app.config editor in LINQPad 5/4

  12. Please make it easy to find and copy the existing activation code from within Linqpad itself. I was going to examine upgrading to version 6 today but can't as I don't have this code to hand. And I couldn't locate it in Linqpad :(

    This feature would probably get a few more impulse purchases before Xmas! :)

  13. Great software, use it every day. Couldn't do without. I may be on the edge of what's reasonable in usage, but when editing files of 500+ lines some input delay occurs. CPU usage is 100%+ on a Intel i9 when typing. Input delay disappears when setting "Show completion list after typing a letter" to false.

  15. I don't often want or need to save the output from a LinqPad script, but when I do I almost invariably need to end up with a PDF that will be sent to someone else. The current export options (Excel, Word, HTML) get the job done but require an additional step. It would be really nice if LinqPad could export directly to PDF

  16. When installing LINQPad (6), it would be good for the installer to, either during or post, run a hidden instance that preforms the auto-update.

    For those of us who package it in SCCM, this would be of significant benefit.

  17. The 'Show Graph' feature is brilliant quickly comparing the relative size of numbers, but it does not work well for negative numbers. It would be great if negative numbers showed extending to the left (and perhaps in red) with positive numbers showing to the right of some imaginary zero-point line. (Thanks for a great product!)

  18. Would like to request a "Reset Window Layout" option. Very helpful when comparing between multiple tabs to have them all of the same height/width etc.

  20. I use LINQPad to work with libraries based on previous versions of .NET, and it would be helpful to be able to edit the App.config like I could in LINQPad 5.
