Allow prompting for user input
Something like this:
int age = Prompt<int> ("Your age");
and it would bring up a dialog asking the user to enter their age.
That would handle single values. For multiple values, maybe Tuple-style:
var data = Prompt<string,int,bool> ("Your name", "Your age", "I agree to the terms and conditions");
("Hello, " + data.Item1 + " of age " + data.Item2).Dump();
if (!data.Item3) "Please agree to the terms and conditions".Dump();
It should remember the last value entered. If the user hits Cancel, then it should throw a OperationCancelledException or something like that.

include another .cs file(s) in a .linq file
in "C# Program" mode:
void Main()
{
...
}
// Define other methods and classes hereinclude MyClass.cs // <--- something like this
So that we can have MyClass defined in another file (MyClass.cs) and just include it instead of copy&pasting the code. This would allow better code separation and re-use.

save as .sql files
When I edit a .sql file, if I click save, it prompts me to save as a .linq file. This is annoying as I like to use LinqPad instead of SSMS in nearly all cases and editing stored procs is one of them ;).

Create an IRender plugin interface and create some additional default rendering engines for content
LINQPad is slow when returning large result sets due to it creating and having to render a lot of HTML. It would be nice if there were an option to use a ListView, DataGrid, or any other type of interface that can accept and render data via an IRender interface. It would be great if this were created so that 3rd parties could write Plugins. Additionally, a ComboBox that could be selected would update the results in a different view.
Of course, it would be difficult to render sub-data (Orders->Products) like is done now, but I think that is an…

Allow to set query transaction isolation level
Most of our queries' transaction isolation level is ReadUncommitted. This is very important on our production db to minimize the impact.
I find myself surrounding my queries with TransactionScope all the time.
In addition, some of the queries requries Snapshot isolation's, etc.
It would be very helpful to allow to set the isolation level in the advanced query properties or something similar.
Thanks.129 votesThis feature is available in LINQPad 8.

Add tooltips on columns in schema view to indicate length

Allow collapse/hide of connections/samples panels
Again thinking about screen real estate, it would be useful if I was able to collapse or hide (pin/unpin) the connections panel and the MyQueries/Samples panel - in the same manner that Toolbox, Solution Explorer etc can be hidden/collapsed in Visual Studio.

Allow results pane to be detached into a separate window
It would be useful if the results pane could be detatched into a separate window for easier viewing.
Since LINQPad now supports Programs as well Statements, the ability to make the most of screen real estate becomes more pertinent.

Make the output window show results as they're produced
For long-running queries that call Dump multiple times, it would be good to have the results from the earlier queries show immediately rather than waiting for the whole query to complete.
