  1. VB Syntax Auto format

    It would be great to have VB syntax auto formatting like in Visual Studio. VB is a case insensitive language (which is what makes it so appealing to lazy people like me) and I often use the syntax auto-formatting when I type as a quick check that I wrote the right syntax.

    ex: I type:
    dim V as double
    v = 10

    and it becomes
    Dim V as Double
    V = 10

  2. A file-base "My Extensions"

    If a special file in the same folder as the opened .linq-file exists (for example "_Extensions.linq"), it should be loaded and executed before the query executes. Extension: Search the parent directories too for this file.

  3. Shortcut for primary key

    I mostly find that I need to filter by the primary key id. It would be handy to have a quick way of inserting the primary id name.

    Perhaps a shortcut key, or perhaps even just putting the primary id at the top of the drop down autocomplete.

  4. Allow tree structure in editor to allow say #region and #define to be minimised similar to VS. Code could be hidden from users easily enough

    Allow tree structure in editor to allow say #region and #define to be minimised similar to VS. Small scripts for users could be hidden from "users" easily enough using #region #endregion or if based on defind label around the whole thing

  5. Resharper integration

    I find myself using Resharper hot-keys in LinqPad by accident. It'd be cool if Resharper worked in LinqPad like it does in VS.

  6. Ability to synchronize "My Queries " on the cloud/web

    I am using Linqpad in diffrent machines. Was wondering is there anyway to sync "My Queries" through some service. Or may be we can use SkyDrive/Azure/Amazon kind of thing?

  7. Syntax alignment like visual studio

    It would be handy to have "select" align underneath "from" like it does in visual studio. I often find myself tabbing code around to align it, but in visual studio its automatic alignment seems more natural.

  11. Implement the SQL view for queries against a Teradata database

    When writing queries against a Teradata ObjectContext, the Results, Lambda and IL views all work as expected, by the SQL view returns nothing. It'd be really handy to have this working, and shouldn't be too hard to implement as simple workarounds already exist. (Just cast a LINQ statement to ObjectQuery and call ToTraceString() on the result - http://developer.teradata.com/blog/dsakai/2010/11/retrieving-the-sql-generated-by-the-entity-provider-for-teradata)

  13. Progressive Dump

    While a linq query is going on, I would like to dump the values, but part of the same Dump... if that makes sense. I use LINQPad to handle small menial tasks I don't feel like starting a new VS project for.

    So while I am in a long linq query, I would like another method for DumpToExisting([id]) and Dump() should return a GUID or Integer id.

  14. include javascript/jQuery support

    since I believe you said the output pane is already IE/browser based, how about allowing us to point linqpad at an html file, local site, or web page, and let us run javascript snippets or bookmarklets against it for testing? Currently I've not single single decent lightweight javascript or jQuery IDE, even less if you want to test bookmarklets

  15. Adding New Connection defaults

    Add a tab to the "Preferences" dialog for "New Connection Defaults". Allow the user to specify certain defaults for creating new connections. I often create a new connection (with the program defaults), then have to delete the connection and re-created to turn off "Pluralize EntitySet and Table properties" and "Capitalize property names". It would be nice if I could turn those off by default.

  16. Documentation generation

    When you have long code in LinqPad (Several classes in one file) it is really helpful if we can have some documentation. However currently linqpad does not do anything in this area. As a start, it can generate the documentation skeleton when user type /// above the method, property etc. Then if that can be evolved to do the auto documentation generation from the method/property names (like GostDoc), that would be awesome!

  18. Allow database connection to be disconnected.

    I have a lot of database connections that contain a lot of databases. This means my database drop down contains a lot of databases.

    It would be nice to be able to put the connection in a disconnected state and the databases in that connection would not show up in the database list.

    Then you would be able to "reconnect" or "enable" the connection and the database would be available again.

    This way I can leave all my connection configured and only "enable" or "connect" to the database that I need to work with.

  19. transpose output - same way as when using First() but for more rows

    I have some tables with lot of columns, but only several rows, it would be nice to transpose the output to have SQL table column names on the left and SQL records (rows) in columns
    Such transformation should be used, when some collection returns only one record (in nested table - Navigation property)

  20. Make "insert special" customisable

    It would be cool to be able to add our own items in insert special (the top right of the data grid in premium), I suppose this is a super-feature of having a date picker
