  2. The connection tree view currently defaults to using dbo as the top level schema to display. For databases that have other schemas, you have to scroll down and expand them. For some databases this is a pain, because the schema that I work in isn't dbo. It would be useful to be able to define a default schema for each connection.

  3. When viewing data in the grid and using the "Export to CSV file", the resulting file doesn’t have a BOM (byte order mark), and so when you double-click the CSV file, Excel opens up and (at least in Excel 2010) shows the following dialog box:

    The file you are trying to open, 'MyData.csv', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupt and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?

    If you click 'Yes', another dialog box is displayed:

    Excel has…

  4. Often I copy a method or class to LinqPad and then change the language to C# Program, which wraps all the code inside Main().
    It would be nice to not do this if LinqPad detects the existing code contains methods/classes.

  5. When writing multi-statements I keep rerunning what I wrote to see if I am on track. However, to actually see what is the result/response/value of the last thing I wrote, I keep adding ".Dump()" to last item, and then remove it and continue to the next statement.

    I think LinqPad should automatically dump the last statement (as an option). Moreover, it might be nice to be also configured something like "Only auto-dump if nothing else is dumped in the query".

  6. While in "C# Program" mode it would be cool to generate the method stub just like in Visual Studio .. it could be done in 2 ways:

    1. use mouseclick or similar to activate the function

    2. generate the method on the fly while writing (detect when unknown methodname is written when starting/closing a paran/bracket)

  8. We use Linqpad allot at work and it would be great if we could add a network share to the My Queries are, or even add a shortcut in Windows Explorer in the My Queries directory and have it load files from there.

  10. If I issue an UPDATE (etc.) in SQL in SQL Server Management Studio, it will give me "(1 row(s) affected)". Neither LINQPad (in SQL mode) or Query Express will do this. Could you please add this?

  11. Often, connections (live, staging and test) for similar project don't all get added in consecutive order, but for simplicity, it would be nice to be able to drag and drop the connections to reorder them in the left-hand list.

  12. Recently LinQPad seems to have become rather niche, I don't really understand what the new features do or what they are for. For example this nuGet, I've no idea what or why I'd be interested in. I'd vote for a complete documentation similar to the c# in a nutshell series on each feature of LinQPad hi-lighting premium features where appropriate.

  13. Every time I add a new connection I uncheck the "Pluralize EntitySet and Table properties" and "Capitalize property names" check boxes. I would love it if there was a way to specify a set of default values for the connection.

  15. How about supporting code creation with this two languages. It shouldn't be so hard, as it's now possible to host them inside of any .NET language. Its all about adding the syntax highlighting and intellisense.

  16. When prototyping idea's I find the C# expression really useful but it would be even better if I could write more than one without having to call dump myself as per c# statements.

    Linqpad could take each line as an expression and evaluate & dump them 1 at a time

  18. When the SQL language is used, it would be helpful to be able to optionally use SQLCMD mode. This would make it easier to use LINQPad for query tasks without resorting to SSMS.
