  3. First of all. Thanks for this great tool. It made (at least in my opinion) a much better devloper out of me regarding how to write/test & improve linq-queries. Now, this is a suggestion I have:

    As I am always using the results-window outside of the main-window (on my second screen), it would be really nice and helpful if LINQPad would store exactly this setting.
    Then, when starting LINQPad, it should move the position of the window to the same position as it was left when closing LINQPad the last time.

  4. Keep past results available across multiple queries, like TOAD and TOAD for SQL Server. It makes comparing results easy, and is very useful when debugging a query.

    Allowing for a user-set 1-99 (default to 5 or 10) results tabs to be visible would be wonderful. I sometimes use TOAD just to get the result history, and then translate the SQL to Linq, and test the results in LinqPad.

    This is my #1 desire for LinqPad, and should be easy to implement.

  5. Provide a way to version script files either internally or via a version control system such as git or tfs.

  6. Now, we can dump GUI controls, XMLs, and other custom outputs, as a new output (tabbed) panel.
    However, LINQPad can show just only one panel currently. I think it's inconvenient.
    If there are support to split tabs vertically or horizontally, it should be very useful when using multiple visualizations or interacting with custom GUIs.

  7. When closing LINQPad with unsaved changes in open queries a dialog is displayed asking "Save changes to the following queries?".

    There may be several queries open that the user does wish to save along with one or more they do not wish to save. Currently one must cancel the dialog, then close each unwanted query and dismiss its prompt to save, before requesting to close once again and confirming that you wish to save the listed queries.

    It would be more convenient if the list on the prompt dialog was selectable, either as a checked list or a multi-select list,…

    • Move the LINQPad specific XML configuration in the *.linq (and add *.cs too, if not possible already) files inside comment, so the same source is usable e.g. in VS.
    • ...and permit using such *.cs (or other X# language) files just like *.linq files.
    • Refresh changed file automagically (if not changed in LINQPad, or verify if file already changed in LINQPad)

    This would allow quite fluent cross-usage of code between various development tools and LINQPad. And shoud not be very hard to implement?

  8. Would be cool to write a linpad script and then have a menu option to publish as Azure WebJob, preferably with a scheduling mechanism.

  9. Suggest looking at performance of export to CSV. For a large table (millions of rows) quite a long wait before file prompt and no progress indicator

    1. Select DB Tables to use as drop down lists.
    2. Assign a variable for the selected value or index of a table.
    3. Use the variable in your code.

  10. If a Schema Metadata contais properties with a unsupported characfters like "third-nationality" , then linqpad is unable to continue and display the error "The schema is not supported" . It should be nice to bypass these fields and continue. Notice that the schema , a Successfactors was correct until , they added 3 proeperties. I admit that it s on SAP side to update the schema , but I dont think they will do it .

  11. See this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24905706/how-to-extend-datamodel-in-linqpad-using-partial-classes

    In a project I'm working on now, I've added a custom ToString() to a datatype in the datacontext, by using a partial class. The class I'm extending has a lot of foreign keys, including a one-to-many relationship. My custom ToString() fetches all the related objects and creates a single, userfriendly string for display, all on one line. If I could use LINQPad to inspect that table, it would make life so much easier. I mean, if I could add .Select(o => o.ToString()) to my queries, and have it use my own custom ToString.

    But the specifics of…

  12. Just as I use alt + g daily to insert a Guid, I miss a shortcut to make a datetime.now when inserting data.

  17. 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)

  18. 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.
    Txs
    ps. continue the good work. I love this product
