  1. 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,…

  2. 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 ?

  3. 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

  4. 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)

  5. 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

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  11. Make it see the files in Skydrive folder that are not fully downloaded yet and are presently only the metadata.

    I use SkyDrive to keep my queries synced between various devices but I noticed on Windows 8.1 that it does not show them unless I have "opened" them locally even though the "stub" of the file shows in the directory. It would be nice if LINQPad would show them all and even open them in a way compatible with SkyDrive if I selected one that was not yet fully downloaded.

  13. For SQL queries that do an INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, show the number of rows that are affected.

  16. Search/filter by table or column name

    For databases with hundreds of tables, it would be great to filter tables and columns by having a textbox at the top of the connection panel. As you type, it would autofilter the currently selected connection.

  17. Interop among queries (and languages) inside LINQPad

    For example, I have a query with code written in F#. Then I can reference this query in a C# query and use the functions that I wrote in the F# query. So, that is not necessary to open Visual Studio, create a F# project write the code then compile it to a .dll and then reference that assembly in a C# query in LINQPad,

  18. As a driver developer, I want to include 16x16 icons that override the default ExplorerIcons.

    For example, if I am working on (hypothetical) HTTP/REST-based driver, I would l like icons that read GET, HEAD, POST, etc. next to the url path that would be displayed as the ExplorerItem text.

  19. pad numbers for better visual presentation

    It would help tremendously for the visual presentation of numbers, if numbers had their decimal place in the same visual column.

    eg: PadRight with zeroes until all numbers have the same number of decimals

    i know that such procedure is kind of tricky to do, because you need to look at all numbers in a grid before showing it.

    but i think the performance-hit is worth the extra render calculation.
