I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  1. Append to querystring

    Great stuff, I'm using it to test a REST service - but it requires a querystring parameter for the apikey. It would be great to have a collection of querystring params that are appended to the url.

  3. Add "Raw" view for OData responses

    When working with OData data services, it would be nice to have the option of viewing the raw HTTP responses (including headers and HTTP response codes)

  4. Add support for calling CLR Stored Procedures that are already defined on a database

    Fairly self explanatory. If a CLR Stored Procedure is defined on a database, I should be able to call it from LinqPad. As of now, they don't show up in the tree and I can't call it directly.

  5. Source Control Integration

    It would be great if LP could support source control integration using the SCC-compatible source control interface (Ex. Beyond Compare 3).

  8. graphs

    Probably Just Me (and I think I could do it myself using MSCHart Add in). but sometimes I would like to be able to do very simple charts of my queries results. Scatter, Block Chart and May Be Pie Chart would probably be enough. like a light weight matlab....

  9. Add preference for disabling of automatic creation of default query template after typing 'from'

    When I am creating a query as soon as I type 'from' and press tab, a default query template is automatically inserted into the editor for me. I would like to have a preference added that would allow the disabling of this behavior similar to the existing 'Enable lambda snippets on query operators' preference. Thanks.

  10. Provide a method to select a database (from the droplist) via code in c# statements mode

    I'd like a method (maybe exposed via the LINQPad object) to change the data context to any of those present in the 'Add Connection' pane.

    As we know linq cannot perform cross database (cross data context) joins. To cope with this, in Visual Studio, I often use one data context, obtain data into a table or array, then switch to another data context, obtain more data, then fuse the result sets.

    This is simple enough in VS, but in LINQPad I cannot work out how to change the data context via code in C# Statements mode; the only way I…

  11. Add a link to the app in programs menu on install

    I was a little surpursed when i installed the app that it was not in the program list. Granted it is small and i typically use the autocomplete to find and launch apps but it does make me question future maintenance, uninstall and clean up issues.

  13. Have the ability to create templates in my queries?

    It would be nice to click on a template query and get a new copy of that query, rather than edit the query itself. Perhaps a right-click on the query in the "My Queries" tab would let you open/clone the query without having to open the original, clone it, close it, then do what you wanted to do in the first place.

    FYI, I can't live without this LinqPad.

  14. .linqbat

    Allow to create files with the .linqbat extension and the ability to run them in the command line or double clicking them without opening the full LINQPad UI.

  16. Export Results as Plain Text.

    This will be handy when using LinqPad to bring back Simple data and will avoid using MS Word and Copy / Paste. I use LinqPad for bringing back the results of massive varchar fields because SSMS doesn't.

  17. WCF Service References.

    We do it now through a secondary dll and machine.config for configuration. Would prefer to reference the service directly. This would also include the ability to use configuration files.

  18. Make shift-click in the results pane collapse/expand all boxes of the same "class"

    For example, when querying with a group by clause with multiple keys, shift+click the Key field make all Key properties collapse or expand.

    like interactive shell, or csharp(1) on Mono, would be nice I think!
