  1. 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.

  5. Allow "solution explorer" organization

    It would be useful to organize a .linq file in multiple classes, exactly as in Visual Studio "Solution Explorer".
    LINQPad is becaming a new light version of Visual Studio for me :).

  7. DB2 Support

    This great product offers support for so many database types, but the major one lacking is IBM DB2. You can do this through EF, but you will not be able to see the SQL that your linq queries generate.

  12. I think a regular WPF grid with all sorts of customization and theme goodies would be better.

    The word wrapping really makes it a problem to surf the grid. I think your idea of the grid is absolutely excellent. I just wish you used WPF instead of HTML table to render the result set. Also removing columns from grid after the result appeared. Allow us to lock columns when scrolling horizontally. Group columns from result set.

  13. Load a webpage into iframe in results window

    I would like to use a function like Util.LoadPage(string url int width, int height) to load a webpage into an iframe in the result window.

    Currently I'm using File.WriteAllText(fileName, contents, Encoding.Default); and Util.RawHtml to push the iframes into the result window, but for some reason the iframes opens up internet explorer in most cases.

  14. Fix tab numbering after Close All

    After choosing the Close All option linqpad provides a fresh tab named Query 1, but if the user opens any new tabs the numbering resumes from the last numbered tab.

  16. Save all modified tabs command using Ctrl+Shift+S as keyboard shortcut

    i.e., similar to Visual Studio. I'm frequently modifying several tabs at the same time. It gets tedious having to click on each in turn and then saving individually.

  17. It would be nice to be able to open a local XML file with File:\\c:\xmlfile.xml to query against. instead of requiring SQL or HTTP.

    I have a program that needs to parse a local XML file on the filesystem. It seems LINQPad doesnt like it when I try to add a local file reference as my source. It whines "Expected an absolute, well formed http URL without a query or fragment.
    Parameter name: serviceRoot"

  19. run current command

    Thanks for AMAZING productivity tool. I would like a feature to run only the command at cursor (not all commands on page). Suggested invocation - right-click context menu option and/or [Alt/Ctrl] + F5.

  20. Add option to expand wildcards in SQL

    VS 2010 Premium or Ultimate has a refactor feature (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd193416.aspx) for SQL that allows the expansion of wildcards such that:

    TableA
    {
    Col1 int
    Col2 int
    Col3 int
    }

    select * from TableA could be refactored into:

    select [t0].Col1, [t0].Col2, [t0].Col3 from TableA [t0]

    Much of the time I will start out writing the select * from TableA statement and later need to go back and define out the columns.
