  1. The very left column (for selecting rows) should be a rownumberer column. Showing the index number of that row. Handy if you are sorting by a particular column and then want to quickly see how many are in each group.

  2. now when a compiler occured, you got nothing in the screen.
    no results, no syntax tree, only error info.
    there are three kind of compiler error, lexer error, grammar error, semantic error.
    if the error is semantic error, the syntax tree must have been generated, so i wish it could be shown in the screen.

    or in a nutshell, show me the syntax tree when it is possible.

    i want this feature for debugging compiler. XD

  3. Sometimes rather than viewing IL I want to see the exact assembly code the JIT produces on my computer. LINQPad is a perfect place for such a playground.

  4. It would be cool if you could write extensions or plugins for LinqPad which act specifically on your LinqPad selection or clipboard. Then configure shortcuts to call them.

    Some examples:

    Uppercase or Lowercase current selection.

    Take current clipboard input and format it before pasting it into the LinqPad text editor view.

    etc...

  5. Hi, can you please add a function that clears the current SQL dump pane? This would be helpful while stepping thru code with the debugger when I want to keep track with the latest SQL statement showing up in that pane. Maybe a button next to "Analyze SQL v".

  6. when you press Ctrl+TAB to swtich from one query to another, a new icon appears in the taskbar (active queries form). Is it possible to remove this or have an option to now show it?

    Every time I hit ctrl+tab my taskbar moves and I think something important is happening.

  7. To fix "Error 2714" when running the "But I don't have NORTHWND!" Sample query, replace the text "Add connection" with 'Add connection' in the comment-section of that query (ie. Replace the double quotes with single quotes).

  8. Sometimes when cleaning up, adding and editing data by hand, there can be an advantage in copying the cells from a query to excel.

    When you're done editing, it would be nice to be able to paste the data back in, in the edit mode.

    This is possible in Sql Server Management Studio

  9. The posibility to define a .linq file as a "Template" (Readonly) would be nice. This would disable the script and would only be able to "Use as Template For A New Query". Another icon for the templates would be nice to.

  13. Start LINQPad, click Add connection

    Actual result:
    - useful drivers (LPX files) are listed.

    Exepected result:
    - include more drivers, eg
    https://github.com/dylanmei/linqpad-soap-driver

    Ideally, this would be more of a nuget style listing.

  16. Allow the user to drag and drop a file (perhaps XML) into the code and have its path added at the drop position. Curently if you Shift+Right click in File Explorer you can copy as path, but you end up with back slashes instead of forward ones. Just dragging a file in to query would be g

  18. When running a query against an EntityFramework Typed DataContext connection, and the assembly folder path has a comma in it, linqpad shows System.IO.FileLoadException "The given assembly name or codebase was invalid". The context connection and tables show correctly on the left, but queries fail to execute.

  19. At the moment it's possible to change the query lang via lprun using the -lang flag. It'd be awesome to be able to do the same when using Util.Run and Util.Compile/CompileAsync from other assemblies.

    It'd also be super useful to be able to pass a Stream to the same methods, but that's secondary :).
