In LPRun.exe we have the ability to only compile the script with the
-compileonly switch.
It would be nice if we had the same in the GUI IDE.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I found an strange Exception eg. Bug in LinqPad.
Following Code works:
´´´
var e = foo();
e.Dump();
string foo() { return ""; }
´´´

But if I add any Reference on *.dll over F4, "Additional References" and "Add/Browse"

I get on .Dump() following Exception:
"The type initializer for 'DumpExtensions' threw an exception."
inner Exception: The invoked member is not supported in a dynamic assembly.

This stops the practical using of Dump() in my Code.

The VsVim Visual Studio extension honours the "set relativenumber" instruction in _vimrc. It causes the current line to show the absolute line number, and all other lines are numbered relative to it.

Something similar in LINQPad would be a lovely tweak!

I have both LP5 and LP6, but I don't seem to have a way to write code snippets in C# 9.0 against .NET Framework 4.6/4.7/4.8. I'm fine with switching over to LP6 if/when I want to target .Net core or .Net 5/6, but I still need a way to test the latest language features against the older Framework versions.

Either Options Some None Map Reduce...

Dark Theme like Visual Studio 2019 Dark

Add ability to have pinned tabs show in a separate row.

This allows easier navigation between queries when you have many open at one time.

Sometimes we need to specify custom project properties and environment variables for a query, for example, <EnablePreviewFeatures>true</EnablePreviewFeatures> and env vars DOTNET_TieredPgo=1. Please allow us to customize project properties and environment variables.

Something like in VS 2019, right click menu, "Convert to class". It would be so helpful for tasks like data exploration.

Add the ability to copy (Ctrl+Drag) and move (Drag) .LINQ files within the MyQueries tab across folders via drag and drop. Currently, to move a file, one must open the file, use "Save As," and then delete the original.

I know I can use File Explorer to do this, but it would be nice if it could be done right there in the MyQueries tree.

The keyboard shortcuts page (Help -> Keyboard/Mouse Shortcuts) is always black text on a white background.

Since the page is just HTML (%LocalAppData%/Temp/LINQPad6/KeyboardShortcuts.html), supporting dark mode should just require a bit of CSS. I tried the following and it matches LINQPad's dark mode reasonably well, feel free to copy it as-is:

@media (prefers-color-scheme:dark) {
body { background-color: #1E1E1E; color: #DDDDDD; }
em { background: #4C4C00;}
}

I would like an option to disable all NuGet related prompts. I would like to be able to run a script without having to worry about NuGet package download confirmation or any particular license attached to the NuGet package. I find these annoying since I use packages from a private feed.

Laundry list of desired features:

1. Export Query to Dotnet SDK Project.
2. Import / Export CSX (C# Script) Files
3. Incorporate the C# Interactive Runtime and add immediate window, Like Visual Studio. Would be a huge help during debugging.
4. Add Unit Test Management with support for MSTest, nUnit and xUnit projects.
5. Seriously consider adding a Report Builder. LinqPad is already 75% of the way to replacing MS Access. This could put the nail in the coffin for MS Access.

I like to format error messages and other output with Markdown to make it easier to create reports from code (I typically use LinqPad to free-hand test code and apply weird edge cases or explorer difficult bugs). Seein my output properly formatted will help me and my clients visual what their code is doing. And adding support to render PlantUML would also rock.

Utils.SaveString is awesome, but would be nice to have some kind of viewer/browser to see what is being stored

Have a setting to format document on save.
In visual studio I use codemaid and whenever I save files it formats them.
Would be nice as one of those menu elements with a checkmark beside them.
