I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  2. 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

  4. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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>);

  12. 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

  13. 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.

  14. 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

  16. Add Option to Change the Number of Recent Files Displayed

    The recent file list under the File menu seems to max out at 9. I would like the config option to increase this number (e.g. 20) similar to what can be done for the recent files list in Visual Studio under Options|Environment|General|items to show in recently used lists.
