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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Occasionally, when I press tab, it adds another newline instead of indenting. I can't always recreate it, but it seems to do it at the most inopportune times. It might be an attempt to auto-align method parameters or anonymous type members.

    Sometimes, if I press tab enough times, it will start indenting again but, again, I can't tell when it will or won't...

  6. When I run queries, particularly as C# Programs that use the construct List<string> { ... }.Contains(q.fieldName), I very often get the message in the status bar "Error running query". Sometimes if I re-run the query a few times it will give me the results successful. Other times, it just reports this error every time. I need to know the actual error message to have much chance to fix it.

  7. Support DB search (for SPs, functions, tables, columns), just like RedGate's SQL Search.

    Maybe it should be a context menu option (saying "Search for DB entity...") on the DB tree-node.

  10. When viewing the IL listing for a piece of code, it would be nice to see the actual opcodes for educational purposes. Or at least an option to turn that on or off.

  11. I've implemented a Task timeout extension to abandon long running tasks. When that task is setup to check for a cancellation token's IsCancellationRequested property the task can finish appropriately.

    Currently when calling Util.ReadLine or when awaiting Util.ReadLineAsync the task gets abandoned but not cancelled. The user prompt box remains open and I haven't found a way to cancel\remove\reset it.

    A cancellation timeout (or cancellation token on the async method) would be useful for automatically selecting the default value after a specified timeout has elapsed. Execution could then be terminated or continued as the script has been directed.

  13. Add support to specify references in text.(May be like comment with references inside, or any other style)
    There are many very similar suggestions about references.
    Just combine them all into one and implement.
    My opinion: The simplest way with in comment description style is the best.

    Details:
    Just add support for parsing comments like
    /* ===Automation===
    AddReference: mycode.dll
    AddReference: somedll.dll
    */

    This looks like comment and could be freely copy-pasted. But also this is reminder to add such references for code testing. LinqPad could automate adding references by parsing this simple text.

  14. Features 'Open in Excel', 'Open selected cells in excel', 'Export to Excel', 'Export to Excel Without Formatting' are awesome, however found that it would be really great to have ability use another spreadsheets processor for exported files opening.
    Would like to ask add additional field into Preferences/Advanced/Output section(for example 'Path to spreadsheet executable') that would be used for mentioned before features and filled during installation by installed excel executable path

  15. I have been trying to use FSLab (F# data science tools) in the latest version of LinqPad. It seems that LP is using a very old version of FSharp.Core.dll (v4.3.0.0). The assemblies in the latest version of FSLab look to have been built again F# 4.0, with FSharp.Core.dll version 4.3.1.0. This creates all sorts of version issues because LP seems to be explicitly loading 4.3.0.0; specifically miss method exceptions. It would be great if you could add a setting to specify the version of the F# tools and libraries to use. It would make LP a much more useful tool…

  17. Just as I can continue to scroll down in VS, the last line of code will continue moving up to towards the top of the editor window. It would be nice if LINQPad could produce a similar effect. I usually am looking at my code in the middle of my computer screen in VS. The only annoyance I've seen so far with LINQPad is getting to the bottom of a long query and having to write code near the bottom of my viewing area.

  18. It would be great to be able to group results into a tree view by dragging columns to a grouping pane (just like in Qutlook).
    For investigating data grouping is one of the most powerful tools.
    So if you have a result with columns col1, col2, col3 you would drag e.g. col1 to the grouping pane and then see a list of distinct values of col1. Each value is a tree node. Once you expand the tree node you will see the result items belong to that value of col1. Certainly nested grouping (col1+col2) should be supported as well :-)…
