  4. Fix Memory leak / program hangups

    As I can't vote anymore, I create this new entry. ;-)
    When I open a Linqpad instance, use it during a couple of minutes and let opened during a couple of hours to come back using it, I noticed the memory consumption raised a lot for doing nothing because I was not using it.

    ps. continue the good work. I love this product

  5. Make Dump() function in C# statement mode grey

    It's kinda getting into the way for samples. Not a very big deal though, but if there's an option to grey out the Dump() function, the main statement would be a little bit more clear.

  6. allow users to login to Linqpad forum using Google

    I wanted to post a serious performance issue (all the time, even with the beta) when running linqpad in parallels on mac. Resizing window hangs the machine from 1 to 3 seconds. Anyway, I couldnt post this feedback or create an issue on Linqpad forum as that requires me to login using OpenID, which I don't use.

  7. Allow playing a sound (or flashing the window or whatever) when a long-running query completes

    I often have to run scripts that take a lengthy amount of time (between 3 and 30 minutes, and it's not known ahead of time exactly how long it'll take). Currently I have to remember to keep checking back to see if it's finished yet as I switch over to another app to work on something else.

    It would be much more useful to switch that 'polling' to 'interrupt-driven'. :) Specifically, I'd love to be able to set an option similar to "if a query runs longer than X seconds (X = 30 would be what I set it for,…

  8. Support column mode editing and possibly multi editing

    The LINQPad code editor currently supports column mode selections (shift+alt+cursor) which is cool. But I really miss the column mode editing support known from VS or Notepad++ (http://notepad-plus-plus.org/features/column-mode-editing.html)

  9. Display multiple result sets, just like SQL Management Studio

    Modern monitors huge huge amounts of space. Why not display result sets in data grid mode, just like SQL Management Studio, so I can see everything on one screen? Its frustrating to have to click on the different results, and difficult to compare results if they are on separate screens.

  11. Dump should output script line number

    In scripts with multiple calls to Dump, it is sometimes difficult to resolve Dump output with the specific Dump call that generated that output. If the Dump output contained the line number that originated that output, it would help in this regard.

  12. Object count when a reactive source is dumped

    When dumping an IEnumerable<T> source, LINQPad also displays the count of items or count of initial items if the number of items exceeds a defined limit. It would be nice to a count (updated live while subscribed) when IObservable<T> sources are dumped.

  13. Allow filtering of the language dropdown

    If I never use a certain language (e.g. C#, F# or Visual Basic) I should be able to set an option that will exclude options based on that language from the language dropdown.

  14. Unhandled System.NullReferenceException crash after running for a month.

    LINQPad 5 AnyCPU has more than once crashed after being left open for a little more than a month. This time it was opened on 2016-11-08 at 13:50:07 and crashed on 2016-12-15 at 08:39:19. It opened a warning dialog and the only content was System.NullReferenceException.

    It would be great if we could have Node.js as one of the selectable languages.

  16. Add Server Core support

    Currently v2 and v5 versions of Linqpad do not start in Server Core with a fatal COM exception.

    If this COM component it's requesting is not critical, perhaps it could be possible to ignore the error or start in feature-limited mode, thus making Linqpad a useful tool for on-the-box troubleshooting/scripting on Server Core servers.

  17. Add option to include column names for "Open selected cells in Excel"

    "Open in Excel" also copies column names from the output, but "Open selected cells" does not.
    It can be very handy if the latter could also copy column names, independent of what has been selected (cell, cells, columns or rows). Of course only column names of cells to copy have to be included.
    Add as an option (because it may not be wanted every time).

  19. Reverse Query

    So I have data executed and in the results window I would like to click on a single row or column and get the query that I would use to get to that position and use it in c# code.

    Would be good for quickly generating a query for C# code.

    I have used this in XMLspy to copy an xpath value to clipboard by just pointing at an XML element

  20. Color.Blue.Dump() should include the actual colour in the results

    I'd love the default .Dump() for System.Drawing.Color (and any other colour related things like the ConsoleColor enum) to include a cell in the result output which contains their actual colour so that I can see it. LINQPad is so good for exploratory programming, dumping things out just to see what the result is, and this would improve it immensely for colours.

    Below is the extension function I wrote to achieve this for if anyone is interested. I would just love to see this in the main build by default.

    ///<summary>Custom formatter when dumping a <see cref="Color"/> which adds a row
