  1. In database with lot of views/procedures/functions is hard to find the desired object for editing just looking in the tree view.
    Would be great if LinqPad have a menu item/shortcut opening a dialog for typing and searching incrementally the object and openning it after found.

  2. Jus t purchased the product and was expecting autocomplete to work in SQL as well as everything else. The whole reason for making the purchase. I see I have 30 days to play with it and ask for a refund which I'm pretty sure I will do.

  6. Currently entity navigation is optimized for table columns ending with the suffix "ID", for example a CustomerID will get a navigable "Customer" field created.

    In a database where the pattern is like CustomerFk, the navigable field would be named CustomerFkEntity, which is painful to write each time in queries.

    Please allow a more permissive foreign key naming detection or allow it to be configurable.

  8. public class ApplicationUserManager : UserManager<ApplicationUser>
    {
    }

    gives the followin error: The type 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' cannot be used as type parameter 'TUser' in the generic type or method 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.UserManager<TUser>'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.IUser<string>'.

    Is there a way to resolve that?

  10. AutoComplete is very handy. It helps with discoverability of all libraries in use. Visual Studio was smart in where it could suggest things, depending on the context. However LINQPad, while close, is lacking in some areas. In particular, overloadable members of a class.

    When within a class and you type overload, LINQPad should list all members of the class that can be overloaded. When a member is selected, it should spit out a default implementation (to call the base implementation). If an overloadable member is implemented, it should not be listed.

    Please make it so.

  11. When you click 'undock results to second monitor' the resulting window's size and position should be stored on close so that it opens in the same position next time (rather than being maximised, which is never what I want).

    Part of the problem is that the child window doesn't respond to WindowsKey + arrow to snap to one half or another even though dragging the titlebar does work (to the left hand side).

  13. This should be a preset thing. This would enable LinqPad to be used as a scripting editor as well.

  14. I often run Linqpad on a server where I don't have Excel installed (due to the SQL server being behind a firewall).
    It would be nice if the Excel export could work regardless of Excel beeing installed on the machine or not.
    Perhaps using a library like ClosedXML or similar.

  15. Quickly Generate "API" for each tab so that you can execute other tabs easily.

    Treat each tab as it's own exportable API/Library that can be executed by other tabs.

  16. Make code snippets consistent with Visual Studio

    For example C# 'prop' snippet

    Visual Studio:

    public int MyProperty { get; set; }

    LINQPad:

    public object Foo { get; set; }

    int or object is discussable but MyProperty is so much more recognizable than Foo.
    For consistency just stick with Visual Studio definitions (which means int here).

    Using different content for the snippets is confusing when accustomed to Visual Studio.

  17. I create lots of Linqpad queries. Many times I have a question in my mind while coding. To answer I try something out in LINQPad and save my query somewhere in my directory tree.
    Some months later I have the same (or a similar) question but can't find my query because there are lots of them.
    I suggest you add a search index. It would make it easier to find old queries just from parts of the filename or query contents.

  18. can't cannect with many db in the single instance.

    timeout error when populating on the tree list

    it's a good idea select the db first to begin to work.
    so the tree list will populated only with the selected db

  19. I know not everyone uses Resharper, but a lot of people do. It'd be really nice to have an option to map keyboard shortcuts for any of the new refactoring or navigation features to the standard resharper keys.

    I'd also like to see goto definition and goto declaration in the right click menu as I use these all the time (I believe VS2015 now has the equivalent of these anyway).

    I'm so tied to this product that I even find myself trying to use the shortcut keys in Word :)

    Thank You!

  20. I find this feature very convenient in Powershell. it would just mean not having to select the line before executing it.
