  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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>);

  8. 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

  9. 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.

  10. 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

  12. 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.

  16. Allow context constructor with optional parameters

    We make use of optional parameters in the constructor of our typed datacontext. However, LINQPad cannot consume this datacontext. I get an error: "The type must define a public parameterless constructor." I propose that if there is a constructor with optional parameters and default values, that constructor should be used with the defaults.

  17. Give preference option to set default fetching count than 100

    I'd like to fetch 10 items rather than 100 as 100 items make me to scroll to top always.

    It would be good to adjust default fetch count in Preference.

  18. change var to specific type

    Resharper gives handy feature that can change var to specific type.
    Linqpad already gives (knows) what var type is. So, it would be good to have a feature to change var to specific type in Edit > Refactoring menu.

  19. Allow Tagging the queries for better Organization

    As a reference provider I would like to label/tag queries so that it is easy for others to locate queries using tag/labels.

    I am using folders to organize my saved queries by creating folder for language, type, version, library used etc. These queries are examples of how to use different libraries or language features. I organize these by creating folders for Libraries or Features used in the query.You can imagine that some queries include multiple libraries plus language features, in which case it becomes difficult to decide where to place it or end up in coping the query in many…

  20. Dump() not generating navigation properties for large tables

    When querying a table with a large number of columns, navigation properties are not appended to the table.

    In particular, Table A I'm querying has 41 columns and does not produce the navigation properties.

    Table B with 29 columns does produce the navigation properties.

    We have a 1:Many (one table B for many table A). The link from TableB -> TableA does show, and it's not an issue with foreign keys, I suspect it's a hard limit we've crossed excluding the properties from generating
