  1. My "in-house" (ProGet) NuGet package source supports Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA). When I try to connect to it I get an authorized response.

    I can try basic authentication, but I would rather not have LinqPad remember my network credentials.

  2. I love that in the intellisense dropdown I can hit Ctrl+H to filter out the extension methods.

    It would be great if we could have an option to hide the boilerplate GetType() , GetHashCode(), ToString() and Equals(). These exist on every object, so they just pollute the drop down, without telling me anything new. Alternatively, they may be faded out, or something.

    The general problem of intellisense is that between inherited methods and extension methods, you drawn in a sea of dozens of intellisense entries. Somewhere in that haystack is the needle you are looking for. Most of us don't…

  3. Hi,

    I absolutely love LINQPad and I use it every day! Great job!

    I was wondering if it would be possible to add code folding support for F# - often times I end up with large scripts and navigating around the code can get difficult without code folding.

    Kind regards,
    George Danila.

  4. If I point LinqPad6 to a new My Queries (and Snippets and Plugins) folders, LinqPad5 is updated to the new folders as well. But I have years worth of queries with .Net Framework Dependencies and would like a clean My Queries structure for LinqPad6 with only .Net Core dependencies.

  5. I tried to use System.ServiceModel.Primitives NuGet package and specifically the SynchronizedCollection<T>. However after installing the package I'm getting the following error when declaring variable of type SynchronizedCollection<string>:

    CS0433 The type 'SynchronizedCollection<T>' exists in both 'System.Private.ServiceModel, Version=4.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' and 'System.ServiceModel.Primitives, Version=4.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

    The same works fine in Visual Studio (.NET Core Console App project).

    LINQPad 6.8.1.

  9. Just a boolean indicating whether the current query is "dirty" or saved: basically wired to the star on the tab title.

    My use case is that my script, after executing, saves its artifacts and itself in a zip file (for posterior usage). It would help me if the first lines of my script would be "Oops, you didn't save the current query -> return".

    Thank you.

  10. PLEASE stop the app from taking focus, when a query completes. I often launch a query and move onto other tasks. However, when LINQPad completes a query execution, the app automatically resumes focus .. including the cursor / keyboard where I might have been (for example) authoring an email. MOST FRUSTRATING!

  11. For example JSON/XML/CSV/Excel data used for testing out a snippet or library.
    Just for the overall convenience... and when you get back 6 months later and look for the input data!

  12. This should be available in this software. As someone that has years of experience in SQL, I find LINQ syntax to be appalling and extremely confusing. I bought the professional version in hopes that this software implemented this feature, it does not, and yes I read the previous request and your reply to the user about VB6 to C# 4 comparison but highly disagree with your decision.

  13. Utils.SaveResultWindowImage(string filename, int x, int y, int width, int height)

    This can then be used as a simple image rendering service.

  14. I currently use a font that has ligatures (JetBrains Mono), but I prefer to have them turned off. It'd be great to have a checkbox to turn off/on the rendering of the ligatures.

  15. Windows supports multiple desktops. This is a useful feature when working on a single monitor. The results grid on LINQPad 6 bleed through regardless of which "Desktop" your are running. Switching desktops (using the Task View button on the Windows toolbar) while running LINQPad 6 leaves the results grid always visible.

  16. Sometimes the natural grid display is too short to display the sort indicator after the header is clicked. This requires the user to expand the column header manually in order to see the hidden indicator. This could be done automatically when a column header is clicked.

  17. The EF Core DbContext that supports the DbContextOptions<TContext> does not support any other configuration options -- just the connection string. I really need it to allow Lazy Loading supports and Detailed Errors.

    THANK YOU.

  18. Would be great if LINQPad supported WIndows 10 ARM64 build.
    As of Feb 2020 .NET 5 preview doesn't support Windows Forms and WPF and will be released in Nov 2020 and .NET 3.1 doesn't support ARM64 Windows devices at this time.
    Thanks

  20. When using the linqpad driver with EF Core and provide my own assembly, i want to quickly change the connectionstring via the connection dropdown.

    I could add every database to a own connection entry, but i want to specify the databaseserver and then quickly change the database.
