  1. Run Linqpad script on Azure

    Would be cool to write a linpad script and then have a menu option to publish as Azure WebJob, preferably with a scheduling mechanism.

  2. Object count when a reactive source is dumped

    When dumping an IEnumerable<T> source, LINQPad also displays the count of items or count of initial items if the number of items exceeds a defined limit. It would be nice to a count (updated live while subscribed) when IObservable<T> sources are dumped.

  3. Allow filtering of the language dropdown

    If I never use a certain language (e.g. C#, F# or Visual Basic) I should be able to set an option that will exclude options based on that language from the language dropdown.

  4. Run scripts thru command line (LPRun) on Linux and MacOS

    Maybe lprun.exe can be more easily adapted to run cross-platform than the full GUI app. It would be fantastic to just be able to run scripts via Mono.

  5. Add option to include column names for "Open selected cells in Excel"

    "Open in Excel" also copies column names from the output, but "Open selected cells" does not.
    It can be very handy if the latter could also copy column names, independent of what has been selected (cell, cells, columns or rows). Of course only column names of cells to copy have to be included.
    Add as an option (because it may not be wanted every time).

  7. Reverse Query

    So I have data executed and in the results window I would like to click on a single row or column and get the query that I would use to get to that position and use it in c# code.

    Would be good for quickly generating a query for C# code.

    I have used this in XMLspy to copy an xpath value to clipboard by just pointing at an XML element

  9. Add a "Favorites" category for Database connections

    In my workplace there are 4 environments with 4 servers each, with 10 databases each. When I need to change environments i have a lot of servers to scroll to, even though I only ever use 8 of the databases in each of the 4 environments. It's be really nice if I could mark a server/database as a favorite, and have it be at the top of the list.

  12. Unhandled System.NullReferenceException crash after running for a month.

    LINQPad 5 AnyCPU has more than once crashed after being left open for a little more than a month. This time it was opened on 2016-11-08 at 13:50:07 and crashed on 2016-12-15 at 08:39:19. It opened a warning dialog and the only content was System.NullReferenceException.

  13. To be able to search/filter in connection combo box

    with the shortcut Alt+C one is able to drop down the connection combo box. However, when you have several databases it gets too long to scroll using the arrow key. It would be really good if it is possible to do a fuzzy search and shorten the list of choices just as who the intellisense is working today.

  14. Add Server Core support

    Currently v2 and v5 versions of Linqpad do not start in Server Core with a fatal COM exception.

    If this COM component it's requesting is not critical, perhaps it could be possible to ignore the error or start in feature-limited mode, thus making Linqpad a useful tool for on-the-box troubleshooting/scripting on Server Core servers.

  15. Dump object to separate panel

    I would like to be able to dump arbitrary objects to a new or secondary panel, the same way we can call DumpFormatted on XDocuments.
    Ex: new[] { 1, 2, 3 }.DumpToPanel("PanelName", <other dump options>);

  17. A provider for LINQ over code reflection

    Instead of querying database, I would like to easily query "code" from a specific assembly.
    For example, let's say I want to find public methods in class whose name ends with "Controller" that have no "Permission" attribute declaration, I would write:

    from c in assembly.Classes
    where c.Name.EndsWith("Controller")
    from m in c.Methods
    where m.Modifier == Modifier.Public
    && m.Attributes["Permission"] == null
    select m

  18. Show current region in Statusbar

    Display the name of the region that the current line is in if it exists. My 'My Extensions' is getting pretty large now and I'm relying on regions a fair bit. Even so it's quite difficult to know which region I'm currently typing in so a status bar message or right click would be very handy.

  19. Make the 'Additional References' section allow for relative paths (rather than absolute).

    It sounds like there is already support in the .linq files for relative paths and allowing for paths to be specified relatively allows for transfer among users/machines with different setups
