  2. Support Live Execution

    I would be great to use LinqPad as a scratchpad i.e. for it to execute code and print results as I type, or with N seconds delay.

  3. Online version of LINQPad

    Would you consider creating an online version of LINQPad? I'm learning LINQ and Rx and it would be nice to stay in the browser to try out the cool queries and examples I see online. .Net Fiddle does LINQ, but I'm sure it doesn't have the nice output options that LINQPad has.

  4. Let 'exclude' work on items of IEnumerable

    If I'm Dumping an IEnumerable<Foo>, it would be very nice to be able to use "exclude" to suppress members on the individual items; currently, "exclude" looks for properties on the IEnumerable itself. I can accomplish this by Dumping to a data grid, but I think it should work the same way with rich text as well.

  5. Add interactive output format for lprun

    I would love to be able to make lprun open a results window to dump too (identical to the one in linqpad.exe). Perhaps something like lprun "myscript.linq" -format:interactive or something.

    I write a fair number of scripts that dump a whole lot of information and also provide hyperlinqs for taking certain actions based on that information. Like validating a file and providing clickable fixes for any issues.

    It's not hard to just open up LINQPad and run the script, but it'd be great to be able to run a task in my text editor that runs a LINQPad script and…

  6. Run LINQPad as a UI prototype (hide panels on startup)

    Due to the availability to HyperLinq's, it's actually possible to prototype a fairly decent "developer tools" UI with quick shortcuts. However it would be nice if it were possible to start up such a script without the other LINQPad UI, such that only the output panel was visible by default (or it was possible to customize which panels should be visible). This makes sense for both Web and WPF (or other visualizer) panels.

  7. my extension folder instead of a single query file.

    My "my extension" is so bloated now. It has so many classes and methods now. I would like to separate them to individual files (class level) and store them in a specific folder ("My Extensions" folder?) and then all the classes and method will appear in all other queries.....

    On a larger level, this brings the concept of projects (or solution). Perhaps we can extend this idea to have a folders marked as a projects, so when running queries this will build all the queries in that folder to same assembly so that it is possible to call methods from…

  8. Debug into external libraries

    Single-step through the source code of libraries that a LINQPad query references. This would require the .pdb files and source code to be available on the local machine.

  9. Add claims based Authentication.

    I really need to use LinqPad to access our Microsoft CRM system, and we use OAuth to authenticate our users.

  10. Teamcity

    We still use Powershell, mainly because there is a powershell runner in TeamCity. If there was a linqpad runner (not just calling out to lprun) then we could ditch powershell altogether!

  11. Have a short tutorial on how to query a Sql Server database

    I downloaded LinqPad. Opened it and added a new db connection, but how do I actually query? Please give some example code.

    For example, I have a table called 'Login'.
    i wrote: 'from l in Login select l' but I get errors when executing this.

    How do I actually query against my database? Do you have some sample code.

    Thanks

  12. Allow users to specify table relations in DB schema on LinqPad side

    I have a back end DB for an ERP system which has thousands of tables but all the relations between those tables are serviced by ERP itself.
    When I need to write a query to that DB I have to make all the joins explicitly, which makes query ugly and must be repeated in each query. I cannot touch the DB itself - it is governed by ERP, but if I could specify relations between tables on LinqPad side, then I could use full power of Linq queries every time. The relations should be addable ad hoc, one at a…

  13. Name the process from the title

    When trying to attach to LinqPad from Visual Studio the different UserQueries are listed as separate processes but with no identification:

    LINQPad.exe
    LINQPad.UserQuery.exe
    LINQPad.UserQuery.exe
    LINQPad.UserQuery.exe

    Would it be possible to either just number the processes according to the tab number or for named scripts add the script name to the process name.

    It would make it very much easier to attach.

    The integrated debugger is good sometimes but for deeply nested features I find it easier to attach the debugger to LINQPad before running the script.

  14. Allow to debug my extensions and split them

    It should be useful to debug my extensions used in scripts because sometimes the code does not work. Another useful thing should be to allow to create more folders and files into, to create a more complex library of extensions.

  16. Add "AnyCPU" into the title bar

    Typically, I have 2 copies of linqpad open, the regular and anyCpu (depending on the referenced assemblies) and it would be nice to be able to see which version of linqpad it is. I'm suggesting AnyCpu in the title, but any demarcation should work.

  17. Util.WriteCsv DateTime format

    Util.WriteCsv method should output DateTime to millisecond accuracy.

    Ideally it should allow us to pass in callback / custom value formatter
