  1. Almost every week LinqPad give a new update verision. But as a user I don't know how to use these new feature, so these valueable feature can not make any value for me. I need some code samples show me how to use these new feature. So please add a help item under help menu to include code samples for new features and linq tips and .net tips...etc.

  4. Currently, it is very hard to find references on the "Additional References" and "Additional Namespace Imports" tabs when in the Query Properties window. This is harder when using LINQPad with enterprise applications that require a lot of references and using statements.

    keep up the good work!

  5. It would be useful to organize a .linq file in multiple classes, exactly as in Visual Studio "Solution Explorer".
    LINQPad is becaming a new light version of Visual Studio for me :).

  6. Allowing a driver to be named .zip would simplify testing and debugging of new drivers. LINQPad could allow this but warn the user when the driver is added "Warning driver should be named .lpx please contact driver vendor to get this resolved" or something. This will really ease the fiddling around at dev/debug stage.

  7. This capability would cause an exception to be thrown by a driver when it gets a serious error preventing executuion. A outer catch could cartch these and write them to a driver test output window along with stack data.
    In addition when running LINQPad under debug the debugger could be configured to break when an exception is thrown - although there is limited src available - this would still allow a developer to see stack traces etc and gain insights into what might be wrong.
    When this new feature is disabled LINQPad would behave as it does now.

  8. Add ability to right click on an unknown type and click Resolve similiar to Visual Studio. You have the feature now, but only way to do it is to hover over the little contextual help 'thing' and select the namespace.

  9. The word wrapping really makes it a problem to surf the grid. I think your idea of the grid is absolutely excellent. I just wish you used WPF instead of HTML table to render the result set. Also removing columns from grid after the result appeared. Allow us to lock columns when scrolling horizontally. Group columns from result set.

  11. allow F1 or Alt-F1 to bring up the table definition/schema, like in SSMS-> alt F1 brings up tons of information about the highlighted table. it would be nice to have a mechanism for jumping straight to the table info via keyboard shortcut if the table name is highlighted.

  14. This will help to compare the CTI exact time (including nanoseconds) with the Insert events start and end times, very useful to have an understanding what is going on, thanks, LINQ pad is a very useful tool.

  16. After choosing the Close All option linqpad provides a fresh tab named Query 1, but if the user opens any new tabs the numbering resumes from the last numbered tab.

  18. i.e., similar to Visual Studio. I'm frequently modifying several tabs at the same time. It gets tedious having to click on each in turn and then saving individually.

  19. I have a program that needs to parse a local XML file on the filesystem. It seems LINQPad doesnt like it when I try to add a local file reference as my source. It whines "Expected an absolute, well formed http URL without a query or fragment.
    Parameter name: serviceRoot"

  20. I use link pad on two machines, each with slightly different directory structures. It would be nice if my .linq file could include referenced DLLs using notation like %HOME%...\Library.dll.
