LinqPad as a user control to embed in my apps
Reporting made easy...just write linq scripts and ship them with your app with the linqpad user control embedded in the app too. :)
I would prefer it in WPF but would settle for winforms.

Support for multiple databases (EF/L2S) on different servers
I would like to be able to query multiple databases, that are on different servers. Possible use would be "server.database.table" or something like that.

Allow users to disable highlighted text execution
If I attempt to run a query with anything highlighted only the highlighted text is executed. This is a really nice feature for some scenarios but I'd really like the ability to turn it off.
When I'm building longer code queries i almost always have code highlighted inadvertently so I am constantly accidentally executing a few lines of code. This is usually just annoying but it has a huge potential to be dangerous as well as it lets me accidentally bypass my other conditions when doing data operations.

New Cache() extension - let it be parameters sensitive?
The new Cache() extension is absolutely great feature. One caveat though is that it is not parameters sensitive and it might be misleading in some cases.
A very simplified example:
int userID = 7;
Users.Where(u => u.UserID == userID).Cache().FirstOrDefault().Dump();When I run it - I get the expected user entity.
Now, if I change userID to 8, and I forgot I used Cache(), I will still get the user with ID 7, and I might execute a wrong logic.
To handle that - I use Cache(string) method with key which is combined by the relevant parameters for that query.
Anyway…

Allow the user to sort using statements and references
Currently, it is very hard to find references on the "Additional References" and "Additional Namespace Imports" tabs when in the Query Properties window. This is harder when using LINQPad with enterprise applications that require a lot of references and using statements.
keep up the good work!

Team Foundation support
I've checked in my queries in TFS, it would be nice if LinqPad could checkout queries when i start editing them.

If user manually adjusts column widths in a query window - remember these settings.
If uses adjust the cols in a query result set, then if they run that query again and the result "shape" is the same, then use these adjusted col widths for these new results.
Only if the shape of the results changes from one run to the next is there any need to reset these (even in that case it could remember the widths I guess - on a per col basis)

Allow .zip as a driver extentions
Allowing a driver to be named .zip would simplify testing and debugging of new drivers. LINQPad could allow this but warn the user when the driver is added "Warning driver should be named .lpx please contact driver vendor to get this resolved" or something. This will really ease the fiddling around at dev/debug stage.

Add a "throw driver exceptions" capability.
This capability would cause an exception to be thrown by a driver when it gets a serious error preventing executuion. A outer catch could cartch these and write them to a driver test output window along with stack data.
In addition when running LINQPad under debug the debugger could be configured to break when an exception is thrown - although there is limited src available - this would still allow a developer to see stack traces etc and gain insights into what might be wrong.
When this new feature is disabled LINQPad would behave as it does now.1 vote -
Intercept and echo calls to Debug.WriteLine or other trace calls.
Adding a window that allows trace calls to be seen would aid in debugging drivers. These could be seen easily in LINQPad (perhap by enabling/disabling the visibility of these) when loading and testing a new driver or even allow such calls embedded in dynamically created source, to also log stuff - very hard to see otherwise.

Support a "refresh driver" feature to avoid the need to unload/relaod during development of a new driver.
In the Add Connection dialog is a 'Delete Driver' feature, I sugges you add a 'Refresh Driver' to that simply deletes the driver and reloads it again from the same place.

Allow to change the "back-tick" key in the preferences (badly needed for non-US keyboards)
On keyboards without a back-tick key usable without any modifier key (alt, alt-gr), to select multiple columns you have to key-in <Alt>+<9><6>, which would already be pretty bad but actually gets worst on laptops without numerical keypads (a lot of them!): I have to key-in: <Fn>+<NumLock>,<Alt>+<9>,<6> for every column I want to select.
I own the premium edition, and don't use it because of this...

Add 'Resolve' to Right Click
Add ability to right click on an unknown type and click Resolve similiar to Visual Studio. You have the feature now, but only way to do it is to hover over the little contextual help 'thing' and select the namespace.

I suggest add support for Generic List<T> intellisense
When you want place a code that uses Typed Generic List (List<T>), Intellisense does not suggest syntax.. i.e:
List<string> fields = new List<string>(){"One","Two","Three"};
When you type List, must to appears List<T> suggestion.
