  1. Currently, latest release looks for fsc.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\, but under VS 2012 on Win8, it's actually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\

  2. be able to set a breakpoint in VS, and be able to transfer a collection that was created into the linqpad workspace. Quite often a collection is created after doing quite a bit of work in the way of web service calls, db queries etc... once all of this info has been gathered together in a collection in a running program, it would be awesome to then query that collection at a VS breakpoint.

  3. Please add the ability to generate a StoredProc or Func from linqToSql. This would be an awesome benefit for devs who hate working with TSQL.

    Many Thanks

  4. If I change the background colour of the editor to black, it enables a dark theme, which on the whole is great.

    But if I use snippet replacements I can't read the replacement characters because the background colour is bright, light green and the foreground colour is white.

    E.g. type "prop" then tab. The word "foo" is unreadable. If I start typing to replace "object", that text also becomes unreadable.

  7. I clicked a link in the connection dialog to the IQ toolkit and it launched IE. I suggest you use the default system browser.

  10. I've checked in my queries in TFS, it would be nice if LinqPad could checkout queries when i start editing them.

  11. I would like to be able to query multiple databases, that are on different servers. Possible use would be "server.database.table" or something like that.

  12. If one has derived entity types defined in the model and doesn’t use MEST (default scenario), the derived entities are not shown in the schema tree, since only entity sets defined in the model are currently shown. Per default it means only base entity types. It makes model exploration capability very limited. Consider a model where all the entities derive from a single base type MyObject (arguable but viable design). Then you end up with only one “table” entry MyObjects in the schema tree with few to none properties defined. All the hundreds of “real” types with all their valuable…

  13. Would be nice if LINQPad would have the ability to turn of Dump() output as an run option, to speed up execution.
    An advanced featrue would be to flag Dump() statements with and option like DEBUG, VERBOSE etc. to allow switching part of the output on and of as needed.

  14. Currently, all the snippets provided as native LINQ statements and method calls only, irregardless of the nature of the connection/provider. It would be useful to have these snippets in all languages supported by LINPad and (more importantly) applicable to the specific connection/provider, like for instance ESQL or plain SQL. The snippets could be organized in sub-menus by language.

  15. The yellow bar at the top shows the current exception but if you have a very long linqpad script you need to scroll down to see where the error happened. It would be nice to be able to click the yellow bar to jump down to the exception.

  17. The amount of duplicate SQL Parameters are too damn high :-)

    eventhough i in C# declare the inputs as variables, the SQL parameters are duplicated pr use of the paramenter.

    eg:
    var DS = 127;
    var genart = "00402";
    var critno = 100;

    becomes :
    -- Region Parameters
    DECLARE @p0 Int SET @p0 = 100
    DECLARE @p1 VarChar(1000) SET @p1 = '00402'
    DECLARE @p2 NVarChar(1000) SET @p2 = '-1'
    DECLARE @p3 Int SET @p3 = 100
    DECLARE @p4 Int SET @p4 = 2
    DECLARE @p5 VarChar(1000) SET @p5 = '00402'
    DECLARE @p6 NVarChar(1000) SET @p6 = '-1'
    DECLARE @p7 Int…

  18. It would be nice if hovering over the menu titles caused the menus to dropdown and show the items, rather than requiring a click action on the menu titles.

  19. Obviously, features new to 1.7 (and later) will not be available as LinqPad seems to reference the 1.1 version. Also, I've been having this issue:

    Assembly 'MyAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient, Version=1.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

  20. I would find it helpful if I could control the date formatting. For me and my companies data, I'm usually only concerned with the date not the time. The time tends to fill up the columns. Can we get some way to control how dates are outputted?
