  2. Extend the Smart tag for namespace importing to also work for extension methods

    The namespace import smart tag works great, but if you are accessing an extension method that it won't offer any suggestions.

  3. Improve Open SQL in SSMS/New Formatting

    Would be great if instead of opening like so in SSMS:

    Executed Sql Query:
    Query: SELECT ... AND ( [LPA_L3].[SomeColumn] = @p1)
    Parameter: @p1 : Guid. Length: 0. Precision: 0. Scale: 0. Direction: Input. Value: 52d87c12-e610-43f8-bdc1-7aee15b19a78

    It commented out comments and set variable values
    --Parameter: @p1 : Guid. Length: 0. Precision: 0. Scale: 0. Direction: Input. Value: 52d87c12-e610-43f8-bdc1-7aee15b19a78
    SET @p1 = '52d87c12-e610-43f8-bdc1-7aee15b19a78';

    --Executed Sql Query:
    -- Query:
    SELECT ... AND ( [LPA_L3].[SomeColumn] = @p1)

  5. an alias for data context and more control over view and property name creation.

    I find myself using LINQpad more and more to test expressions from our projects. It would be nice to have more control to take the 'tweak' out of the copy/paste/tweak process. For example, when I copy an expression from code to linkpad I have to find/replace "db." with "" to remove our context variable references. It would be great if LINQPad could understand that "db." (or some other user defined alias) means the current context.

  6. Option to not show hyperlinks (FK) in result grid.

    Sometimes a table might have a couple columns at most that are for viewing, the others are foreign keys. It would be nice to hide those if I don't use the hyperlinks.

  9. Sort Columns

    Having just started a new job, I'm working with entirely new tables. It would be really great if LINQPad would let you sort the columns in the display. It would make finding a column so much easier.

  10. Add an option to not display secure strings in the results pane

    Short version:
    I would like to have an option in LInqpad that would stop it from displaying a SecureString as plaintext in the results pane so that my ActiveDirectory password is not revealed when I .Dump() an object that contains an ICredentials member.

    Longer description
    So, Linqpad has become my favorite c# test/scripting/training workbench. I often use it to explore new API's

    I noticed something today was kind of a bummer -- I was working with a co-worker on the TFS API. I .Dump()'d a TFS object that contained credentials, and there was my AD password in the results grid,…

  11. Organize Connections Into Folders

    Would be nice to be able to organize my connections into folders like "Dev", "Test", "Prod", or by focus, like "Reporting", "Web", "Internal", etc.

  12. Export to CSV ..next to Excel

    I just found "export to CSV", but it was not very intuitive having to switch to grid view, when in big letters there is a Export button right next to the results. The inverse is also true, in grid view there is access to CSV, but not Ecel, Word, Html.

    Could you please add the shorcuts ?

  13. Add a Util.ReadPassword method

    Util.ReadLine is very handy, but sometimes I use it to enter passwords, and I don't want other people looking at the screen to see my password... A Util.ReadPassword method that hides the input would be nice

  14. Working with large number of tabs open

    1. Bug: Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar, say 15 tabs, take the last one and drag and drop it to move it over, it will jump to the first page worth of tabs (say between 1st and 10th), so you can't move the 14th tab to be the 15th position.

    2. Using the scroll wheel on a mouse could move along the tab bar (as firefox does)

    3. Forward and Backward buttons on the mouse could step between active tabs (as Notepad++ does)

  15. Horizontal scrolling on results

    Provide horizontal scrolling without having to go to the horizontal scrollbar, say with SHIFT + Scroll. I dont know where i saw it, but i think it would be useful as some entities have many properties and we need to scroll right

  17. Include additional databases (linked) servers INFORMATION_SCHEMA

    When including additional databases from (linked) servers, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA views from the linked database should be included.
    We can then use LINQPad to compare schemas between databases.

  18. Column Mode and status bar informations

    Add support to Column Mode ("Shift + Alt" in Visual Studio) and show the Ln, Cols and Ch information in status bar like in Visual Studio.

    When I need do a substring in a line of text, I need use other editors (like Notepad++ or even Visual Studio himself) to know which position of chars.
