1. BUG - Intellisense does not work within a nested object initiailizer

   When using and object initializer on a property within a parent object initializer, the intellisense show the global intellisense list.

   This code shows the issue:

   void Main()
   {
   new Foo
   { // Placing cursor after this brace and pressing space gives a drop-down list with "Qux", as expected
   Bar =
   { // Placing cursor after this brace and pressing space give th same list as Ctrl+Space in an empty query. Expected a list with "Baz".
   }
   }.Dump();
   }

   // Define other methods and classes here
   class Foo
   {
   public Foo()
   {
   Bar = new Bar();
   }

   public Bar Bar { get; set; }
   public string Qux { get; set; }
   

   }

   class Bar
   {
   public string Baz { get; set; }
   }

2. Don't prevent installing native packages in LINQPad

   Some package, like "Microsoft.ChakraCore", "Libuv", or "JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.ChakraCore.Native.win-x64", does not have .NET Assembly, instead, they provide a native assembly to PInvoke.

   However, this cannot be done in LINQPad, when installing these packages, an error message "There are no usable .NET assemblies in package 'XYZ'" was shown.

   Please do not prevent us to do that, at least popup a warning dialog saying something like "Looks like you're not installing the .NET Assembly, go on?", and gives us a option to proceed the PInvoke test.

3. Option to auto run script on change

   A technique I use to quickly test an idea is to have a dummy "test" method that calls a method I'm working on. Used in conjunction with NCrunch, and Console.WriteLine(), I can make changes to the method and immediately see the results without having to save/recompile/run (continuous testing).

   I think it would be great if LInqPad also allows for this kind of cycle. Being able to see the progress of a script without have to stop and run every time making a change can be a huge productivity booster - especially when incrementally building an algorithm.

   I think it would make sense to only enable this on a per query basis.

4. Drag-n-drop CSVs into an instant table

   Drag-n-drop a CSV file to the LINQPad window to silently create an IQueryable object populated with its values and insert a code reference at the cursor point where the drop operation completes.

6. Allow LinqPad Query to access internal members of referenced libraries

   It would be great if LinqPad query can access internal members of referenced libraries without changing the referenced libraries to add InternalsVisibleTo attribute. Instead we could use the reverse attribute IgnoresAccessChecksToAttribute in the query to allow it to access internal members of any specified libraries. You can find detailed information on how this can be done here: https://github.com/aelij/IgnoresAccessChecksToGenerator and https://github.com/filipw/Strathweb.Samples.CSharp.NoVisibilityChecks

8. Expose Program.IsAutomated via Util class

   Currently we resort to reflection on the LinqPad internal classes to extract some very useful properties. One of these features is IsAutomated property of the internal static Program class, which is similar to #if CMD but is more practical because you can pass it around. Besides it's impossible to determine if a script it running under lprun inside MyExtensions using the said #if CMD directive. Because it is a compilation directive.

9. Provide a means to change the target framework (e.g., the .NET Micro Framework, etc.)

   I don't know if this is feasible, but it would make LINQPad orders of magnitude more useful to those of us working in multiple target platforms.

10. Cross-server and cross-domain queries

    It is time to move to the next level: cross-server or cross-domain queries, for a truly great orchestration experience.

    I have experimented with this and it's working nicely:

    dynamic odata = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType("LINQPad.User.DemoService, odata", true), new Uri("https://services.odata.org/V3/OData/OData.svc/"));
    ((object)odata.Persons).Dump();
    dynamic a = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType("LINQPad.User.TypedDataContext, a", true));
    ((object)a.Persons).Dump();
    dynamic db = Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType("LINQPad.User.TypedDataContext, db", true));
    ((object)db.Products).Dump();

    I'm specifically referring to this line in the FAQ (https://www.linqpad.net/FAQ.aspx):
    "The databases that you query must reside on the same server."

    That's a major limitation.

    Possible solutions:
    1. Unique data context class names in the LINQPad.User namespace.
    2. extern alias functionality?
    3. Uniquely nest all classes with respect to their connection name (for example, in the db.dll all classes will reside in LINQPad.User.db.* as opposed to the current LINQPad.User.* namespace)
    4. With odata you named the resulting class DemoService, perhaps the same could be done with the sql connections

11. Add codepage support to Util.Cmd

12. Add Random newid() support to TypedDataContext

    Super easy, add this method to your Program script:

    [System.Data.Linq.Mapping.Function(IsComposable=true)]
    public Guid NewId() => Guid.NewGuid();

    Then use like this:

    Users.OrderBy(o => NewId())

    This will translate to the usual sql statement for the server-side execution:

    select * from Users order by newid()

    Which is shuffling on the server side.

    The C# implementation is never used (Guid.NewGuid()) but is useful nonetheless if someone calls it from the application-side. You can replace it with throw new NotImplementedException() and it will still work just fine.

    Would be great if it was embedded into the TypedDataContext (or elsewhere) within LinqPad.

    Based on Marc's answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/648196/random-row-from-linq-to-sql

20. Automatic proxy detection not working

    Hello,
    First of all: LINQPad is a GREAT productivity tool and in our company we have many users, using it on a daily base. I love the new feature to great simple chart in the Dump output!

    Here is a little issue. The automatic proxy detection of LINQPad is not working properly. In our environment with a NTLM based authenticating proxy and a proxy.pac file in use it is not working.
    This is most likely due to not setting the HttpWebRequest.Proxy.Credentials property before sending a request.

    Here is a sample C# code where it works and is explained step-by-step:

    // create some HTTP web request, e.g. www.microsoft.com
    // CAREFUL: some special URLs like www.google.com might be accessible without any proxy credentials as EVERYBODY should be able to use them
    // so we use something more special, e.g. "https://www.bundesbank.de"
    var url="https://www.bundesbank.de";
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);

    // force the request to be executed without using any cache, for our testing scenario
    // in a productive scenario this SHOULD NOT be changed without having mature reason, e.g. a web site handles caching wrongly and deliever
    // false results if caching is activated
    // CAREFUL: the proxy authentication request is STILL cached. So if you want to test you MUST exit LINQPad after each successful proxy authentication attempt
    HttpRequestCachePolicy noCachePolicy = new HttpRequestCachePolicy(HttpRequestCacheLevel.NoCacheNoStore);
    request.CachePolicy = noCachePolicy;

    // usually .NET uses the system web proxy
    // so the next if line is redundant
    // request.Proxy = WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();

    // or define an explicit proxy
    // this shouldn't be necessary except if the proxy handles the request not properly or some exceptional proxy should be used
    // that is configured in a special way
    // request.Proxy = new WebProxy("proxy.somedomain.com:8080", true)

    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    // here is what needs to DONE
    // settings proxy credentials in the code is MANDATORY.
    // if you do not set credentials in the code none will be use and hence an anonymous request is sent
    // This ALWAYS fails if you have an authenticating proxy server

    request.Proxy.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
    // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    // alternative: create network credentials based on user name and password
    // this has to be used if e.g. the applications execution environment uses credentials that have no internet access over the proxy server
    // request.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

    // if you comment the next line it still works
    // the request.Credentials are credentials used to access the web site. Those are usually not the default network credentials but some credentials
    // for on an Internet authentication protocol, e.g. basic authentication
    // request.Credentials = credential;

    // do the request

    {
    using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
    {
    reader.ReadToEnd().Dump();
    }
    }
    }
