  1. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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"

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  16. A function that autoscripts the data of particular (selected) table(s) into a SQL formatting. It would help me to completely get SQL Enterprise Mngr out... Now I do this via "select database", Tasks, Generate Scripts, Select Advanced button and change the types of data to script to: Schema and Data.

  18. Typing namespaces is error prone and not validated on the Additional-Namespace-Imports tab. In loading the the "Additional References" assemblies, the namespaces (including spelling and character-casing) could be auto-completed to their correct values. I forgot the case of one character in the namespace, and my only clue was that intellisense wasn't picking up the classes that I expected in the namespace I had mistyped.

  20. This will help to compare the CTI exact time (including nanoseconds) with the Insert events start and end times, very useful to have an understanding what is going on, thanks, LINQ pad is a very useful tool.
