  2. 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!

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

  4. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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...

  10. 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.

  11. 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.

  12. Almost every week LinqPad give a new update verision. But as a user I don't know how to use these new feature, so these valueable feature can not make any value for me. I need some code samples show me how to use these new feature. So please add a help item under help menu to include code samples for new features and linq tips and .net tips...etc.

  15. 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 :).

  17. 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.

  18. Portable Class Libraries helps developers write cross-platform libraries which can be very useful for things like DTOs, service/client code, extensions... etc
