  1. allow opendatasource in LINQ

    openDataSource and openRowSet don't seem to work in LINQPad under LINQ instead of SQL. I use these on a number of queries, and would hate to have to go back to SQL everytime I needed data from another server on the one I'm on.

  3. Flag read-only properties in output

    I really would like to see for each property whether it's a readonly or a writable property. Maybe you could give the gray background of the headings some red touch for RO ones?

  4. Add a "Copy Name" button on "Password Manager"

    There is no "Copy name" feature in the "Password Manager". I need to copy the name and put it in my Query. Sometimes the name is long and hard to remember.

  5. Add extra XY series to chart

    Currently in the beta charting works really nice, except it is not possible to add an extra XY set, only a Y set can be added using .AddYSeries.

  6. Some global settings should be per query

    Some settings which are currently global (in Edit > Preferences) should be moved to Query Properties. For instance:

    Query tab:

    • Compile with/without /optimize+
    • Use Roslyn prototype assemblies

    Advanced tab:

    • Compile VB queries in strict mode
    • Do not shadow assembly references
    • Run queries in MTA threads
    • Use MARS with database connections

  7. Set Open In Excel name to Grid Title from Dump

    When you use Open in Excel on a grid, the Excel (html) file that is opened is named after the query name, but should be named after the Grid title from the Dump command that created the Grid, if one exists.

  8. Better experience for __SOURCE_DIRECTORY__ in F#

    The FSharp compiler macro 'SOURCE_DIRECTORY' doesn't seem to behave as expected in linqpad - specifically it points to a linqpad temporary execution directory, and not where the .linq file itself resides.

    This makes it problematic to use F# type providers within linqpad. Referring to data files relative to the script is pretty common, but the path supplied to a type provider has to be a compile-time literal - ie Util.CurrentQueryPath can't be used. Absolute paths obviously break across machines.

    Not sure if a fix even is possible (I can't see anywhere on the F# compiler where you can…

  9. Maintain a list of most recently used assemblies

    There are a few assemblies I often use in LinqPad queries, that are not in the GAC or on Nuget. Every time, I have to browse to their location to find them (e.g. Windows.winmd to use WinRT APIs). It would be nice if there was a "recently used" list in the "Additional references" tab

  10. When copying for Markdown/Stack Overflow, find a way to add in using-directives and references

    The menu item for "Copy for Markdown/Stack Overflow" ends up copying code that in most cases won't compile without manual intervention by the person who grabs it off of Stack Overflow.

    Specifically, these two things is on the query options tab, and has to be manually added for the query code to compile and execute:

    • References
    • Using directives

    It would be nice if those two things could be copied alongside the query code, for instance as specially crafted comments at the top, that would be recognized by LINQPad upon pasting back into it, and moved to the appropriate places.

    ie.

  11. line numbers when editing Stored Proc (beta 4.37.11 has it for queries)

    Line numbers are present in a beta release , but only for new Query windows and not when viewing/editing Stored Procs in a DB.
