  1. I would like an option to auto-include the indentation of first line for copy-paste convenience,

    I find when I copy-paste pieces of code around, I place the cursor usually at the starting word. Then I would hold the shift key to select the lines below. This results in excluding indentation characters of the first line, but including the indentation for the lower lines.

    When you then paste this block, you would place the cursor at the correct position, but the lines under that appear 'one level too deep'.

    I could work around it, by adjusting my selection to include the…

  3. I really like the casual coding experience of LINQPad.

    Would be nice if it had a little todo list that I could double click on, in order to go to the related todo comment

  4. It would be great to be able to run profilers from LINQPad without creating a new VS project to get an exe for anything that i'd want to profile. This goes toward the "Pad" part more than the LINQ part of this program.

  5. I have a lot of queries I use day to day. I have recently started using SubmitChanges to update data when needed. I have this line commented out by default but worry that sometimes I could forget. Would be nice to have an option to that when enabled asks for confirmation to perform SubmitChanges()

  6. vb 2010 does not require the "_" when a new line starts with a query clause. It would be nice if you didn't either.

  9. I live in sweden and swedish Exception message are quite useless when posting online (in help formus) etc. Would be greate to set the CultureInfo so Linqpad returns English exception messages.

  10. A common SQL Azure connection failure is when you are running behind a proxy/firewall. At my office I cannot connect to SQL Azure without turning on the trust server certificate setting in the connection string. Linqpad doesn't expose this right now.

    Exposing the ability to set the TrustServerCertificate=true in the ConnectionStringBuilder would allow this connection to succeed.

  11. Hi,

    In the left panel which holds all the connection a new menu items should be added -- expand / collapse all below this node. While creating SQL queries I often forget which tables has which fields, and I have to manually expand the nodes (root > db > user > table). It takes a time. With my suggestion user will be able to perform this action in 2 clicks.

    Thanks

  12. I often times need to just view the newly created data recently. If this command can be added to the right click on the table menu will be excellent!

  14. Like this:

    reference @"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll";

    using SomeAssemblyNamespace;

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

    or maybe to remain true to the C# standard, use custom attributes:

    [reference(@"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll")]
    [using("SomeAssemblyNamespace")]

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

  16. I can effectively do this using export to Excel and then select all / copy. But I do a lot of statistical analysis and need to copy data results to and from other programs. They support importing from the clipboard, but the clipboard text must be comma or tab separated (or even fixed--parsable in a line-per-row fashion--i.e., not markup).

    It would also be nice if you could suppress the summary line.

  17. Please consider NuGet integration.

    I would also suggest changing LINQPad scripts to not just be XML files but indeed something like a tar'd/zip'd archive of XML and DLL files with NuGet integration and update mechanism.

    This would be super compelling and useful and much more light-weight than using NuGet from VS.

  18. It's a very common problem to have to combine CSV files together. A data context that allowed you to add multiple CSV files and generate a static acessor off column names would be incredible useful

  20. Some kind of mechanism that stores the result of an expression into a variable or RAM storage... that can be used later on.

    Lets say i have a heavy Linq statement that spends 30 seconds to finish - it would be cool to store that data in a variable of some kind that i can call later on.

    "Live objects" might be the name of such...
