  2. LINQPad adds * (asterisk) indicator char to the current tab when saved script is changed (char removed/added, etc). It would be great if this * (asterisk) indicator is removed as soon as changes are undone by multiple CTRL+Z commands. As for now, even if file is restored to the original state, the asterisk is still displayed and it's difficult to tell if the file was really changed or not (safe to resave or not?).

    Please consider implementing this feature, it should be a piece of cake! :)

    Thanks!

  3. I mean, come on... this is a brilliant idea! The beauty and power of VSCode, plus the beauty and power of LINQPad?

    LINQPad could inherit the editor features of VSCode and output its results in a separate pane.

    BANANAS!

  4. The nuget package Microsoft.Azure.CosmosDB.Table package version 1.1.3 relies on the prerelease 9.0.0.1-preview of Microsoft.Azure.Storage.Common.

    If I enable include pre-release it doesn't install failing saying that it can't find it.

    Even if I pre-install the pre-release dependency it doesn't allow it.

    A non-prerelease package being a depedency is a documented issue: https://github.com/Azure/azure-cosmosdb-dotnet/issues/385 and the workaround suggests installing the pre-release which suggesting the workaround should work as normal when using nuget.

  7. Hello,
    First of all: LINQPad is a GREAT productivity tool and in our company we have many users, using it on a daily base. I love the new feature to great simple chart in the Dump output!

    Here is a little issue. The automatic proxy detection of LINQPad is not working properly. In our environment with a NTLM based authenticating proxy and a proxy.pac file in use it is not working.
    This is most likely due to not setting the HttpWebRequest.Proxy.Credentials property before sending a request.

    Here is a sample C# code where it works and is explained step-by-step:

    //…

  8. Allow an option on "Preference -> Advanced" or somewhere similar that we can enable/disable that will hide System Database, such as "master", "model", "msdb", "tempdb". Most of the times, developer are not working with these databases, so there is no point in them displaying under your database server.

  10. I'm hoping this would be a fairly easy change, but would make my life a lot easier. I dump a lot of abbreviated strings/hyperlinqs which I only sometimes need to differentiate the absolute paths or other truncated details for. It would be great if I could just mouse over the text to get some additional info.

  13. I use LinqPad to share data through email all the time. Currently the best way to do this is to export to HTML file, load the file, copy to clipboard, paste to Outlook as email.

    Could you add a "Export to clipboard as HTML" option to Export drop down menu that would just put the data you are saving to a file on the clipboard?

    Or add an "Export to clipboard as HTML" to the ▶ menu on each Dump (same drop down as View in Grid, Toggle all graph columns)

  16. It would be nice to have the option of copying a 'Minimum Working Example' to the clipboard. This would make it easier to e.g. post a question on StackOverflow.

    It should include all namespaces and a full class declaration containing a static Main-Method. Also see here: https://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve

  17. Detect the Dump() statements and render an inline Button next to it (or in the left column). That button work immediately execute only that Dump() statement.

    Probably only works in the C# statement(s) mode

  18. Add the possibility of manually installing the last Beta from the user interface.

    I install the Beta releases every single time. It would be nice to be able to install the Betas without going to the web site, etc.. manually initiated of course.

  20. I frequently find myself using plain SQL instead of LINQ (some queries are just easier and faster to write). It would be great to have an option that if the result set only contained one row to format it as a single entity in the vertical format instead of the horizontal format. Essentially, it would look the same way if you were to call Table.First(), where all the properties are listed vertically and you only have to scroll down. This would make it much easier to scroll through tables that have many columns when I'm only selecting one row from…
