  2. While in "C# Program" mode it would be cool to generate the method stub just like in Visual Studio .. it could be done in 2 ways:

    1. use mouseclick or similar to activate the function

    2. generate the method on the fly while writing (detect when unknown methodname is written when starting/closing a paran/bracket)

  3. Query Properties - Profiles

    Set and save different Profiles for query properties. We have different code branches for development and release cycles. It would be great if I could setup and switch between different profiles for a LINQ script.

  4. When writing for example:

    from u in Users
    select new
    {
    UserDetails = (from ud in ....
    }

    When I press "u" I would expect u as the alias for Users in the outer query, but it picks up everything.

  5. F# 3.0 type providers seem like they would fit in quite well with the LINQPad-as-data-explorer mission.

  6. It's one of the best Text Editors out there and instead of having LinqPad adding some of it's great features like:

    • auto page save
    • super fast with files over 50.000 rows
    • word selection
    • multiple word editor
    • fantastic plugins base
    • super light

    it would be great if we can just point where our LinqPad connections and let Sublime do the rest :)

  7. Often I copy a method or class to LinqPad and then change the language to C# Program, which wraps all the code inside Main().
    It would be nice to not do this if LinqPad detects the existing code contains methods/classes.

  10. Recently LinQPad seems to have become rather niche, I don't really understand what the new features do or what they are for. For example this nuGet, I've no idea what or why I'd be interested in. I'd vote for a complete documentation similar to the c# in a nutshell series on each feature of LinQPad hi-lighting premium features where appropriate.

  11. I am working with StreamInsight and I highly recommend to give us the option to include the full ticks when displaying a datetime value, this would be extremelly useful.

  12. Every time I add a new connection I uncheck the "Pluralize EntitySet and Table properties" and "Capitalize property names" check boxes. I would love it if there was a way to specify a set of default values for the connection.

  13. Due to the nature of Linqpad, I'm often using it for handling one-off processes or experimenting. It would be nice to be able to quickly step through all the saved states of a particular snippet, etc. Could marry with an advanced Undo system.

  14. I run queries from time to time, and every time I open a query, i need to adjust the height of Results Panel. It would be very helpful to save the layout for each query. So LINQPad could be used a workspace.

  15. Include an option so that the new 'new tab' button can operate like ctrl+shift+N rather than ctrl+N.

    More oftent than not I will have multiple tabs open on the same DB

  16. User entering CTRL-E should execute a query justlike F5 does. I am in the habit of that keyboard combo from old queryanalyzer days

  17. It would be great if LINQPad could create classes from a JSON object in the clipboard (Just like the WebEssentials extension for VisualStudio can do)

  18. When prototyping idea's I find the C# expression really useful but it would be even better if I could write more than one without having to call dump myself as per c# statements.

    Linqpad could take each line as an expression and evaluate & dump them 1 at a time

  19. I have been using LINQPad to deploy a few large strings directly into a database table, but I recently needed to get the full script of what was being generated so I could deploy in an environment without LINQPad. When I opened the SQL output pane, the declaration which held the variable containing my 9 KB string was limited to the first 1,000 characters. Is there somewhere I can configure LINQPad so it will not truncate the SQL output as shown below?

    -- Region Parameters
    DECLARE @p0 VarChar(1000) = 'CNV'
    DECLARE @p1 NVarChar(1) = N'declare @interfaceId int = 70;

    ...…

  20. Rather than editing the stylesheet in the preferences editor, it would be nice to load that from a file.
