  1. Util.WriteCsv method should output DateTime to millisecond accuracy.

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

  5. So it is easier to identify. All named "Query 1", "Query 2" doesn't tell much.

  6. It should be useful a GetPassword overload that does not prompt password if it not exists but simply return null.
    Consider to add a method Decript or rename GetPassword because it should be used to store other types of data (connectionstrings, usernames ect...).

  8. It would be nice if we could be able to turn off the Dump of the Unhandeled exceptions, or Change the Default Handler from LINQPad on the 'AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException'.

    I have not found any way of turning this off without actually using reflection to fetch, and de-register the default, and then re-register my own implementation (it works, but it's buggy).

  9. Add optional parameter to Util.Cmd that will accept a parameter so alternate success exit codes can be defined. Currently only 0 is acceptable as a success, but some apps use alternate exit codes.

  10. Currently the IQ provider ships with SQLite 3.7.17. This means we can't use the latest SQLite features, such as the WITH clause (introduced in 3.8.3)

  11. Implement a driver based on the famous dapper library from Stackoverflow. Dapper is faster than Linq2SQL or EF. It'd great to take advantage of it in LINQpad.

  12. I have placed my LinqPad folders inside a "OneDrive for Business"-folder (and made a junction to it in my documants folder :))

    But now Onedrive is complaining that I have a invalid character in "C# Snippets", which turnsout to be the # character.

    Can I rename that folder without losing the functionality?

  14. When adding a new item in the middle of, or deleting an item from the middle of the second list to compare using Util.Dif, the rest of the list is flagged as out of sync since it uses an index-based comparison. In other words, Util.Dif compares elements at index 0 with each other, then at 1 with each other, etc.

    It would be better if more advanced diffing algorithm was used to do this and could flag the entire element as red if it was removed, the entire element as green if it was added, or individual values with red/green…

  18. Create a web version of LINQPad, similar to jsFiddle or dotnetFiddle. linqFiddle would be an outstanding product and would be infinitely useful.

  19. 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.

  20. Add commas (or whatever the user's localization number delimiter is) to the number of rows returned that is displayed in the status bar under the DataGrid. When the number is large, like 849054, it's easier to read it in groups as 849,054.
