  2. 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.

  3. I'm getting a large collection of files in "My Queries". The "Organize..." button helps but it would be great if the files in the trees had stars icon that I could click on to toggle as favourite scripts. Perhaps a third tab named "Favourites" that lists them all together?

    LINQPad rocks!

  4. I found LINQPad can also support SQL command query and this does make helps sometimes. However, the left-up view can only show the entity model, it's will be more helpful if this view can also show the physical data model like many other SQL tools show. By referring this physical data model we can make correct SQL commands more easily.

  5. Right clicking on the database and selecting Rename actually brings the window to rename the connection and not the database. So, either the context menu for the database needs to be fixed, or the renaming of the database should be allowed. Otherwise it is misleading.

  7. Line numbers are present in a beta release , but only for new Query windows and not when viewing/editing Stored Procs in a DB.

  9. I want to send a link to my team and have them test drive premium for a few days. If they like it, we want to buy a bunch of licenses. A trial offer that lets us use it in real development for a few days is critical.

  10. Many LINQPad scripts are short blocks of code that would be useful to a wider community if shared.

    Sharing a LINQ 'script' as a Gist on GitHub means you get versioning/change management and social sharing. You can get the top LINQ 'scripts' written by others and share your own. Others can comment on your scripts / fork them etc.

    Perhaps it could be implemented as another "Tab" next to "My Queries" and Samples, called "My Gists".

  12. In the Add Connection pane, one should be able to add a connection which allows you to browse to an Xml File (or any file that has an Xml File structure even) and thereby be able to use Linq to Xml to query from that Xml File.

  13. The UniversalStaticDriver class does not detect the properties of the customType parameter that are directly of type IEnumerable<T>. If the customType inherits IEnumerable<T> (like say via IList<T>) then the property is detected. But if the property is actually declared as IEnumerable<T> then it is passed over.

    I changed the line that declared ienumerableOfT from:

                let ienumerableOfT = prop.PropertyType.GetInterface ("System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1")
                where ienumerableOfT != null
    

    to

                let ienumerableOfT = (prop.PropertyType.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(IEnumerable<>) ? prop.PropertyType : null)
                                    ?? prop.PropertyType.GetInterface("System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1") 
    

    Kinda hacky, but it fixed the problem for me. Probably a better solution would be to recurse through the type and all inherited types…

  15. (Optionally) show a different icon for each language in the My Queries treeview. Also show different overlays for expressions, statements, programs, etc. for each language. Maybe filters can be applied to sort things out. Make logical folder (like search folders in Outlook) to distinguish the items.

  16. The table context menu items in v4.37 are much improved especially adding the 'Explore top 100 …' - Thanks you!

    But I would like the ability to add extra menu items for example to run a custom visualizer or perhaps a different query template to the ones provided.

  17. You can open ILSpy, load an assembly and navigate to a Type using the following command line:
    ilspy "%userprofile%\documents\linqpad.exe" /navigateTo:T:LINQPad.Log

    You will need to be able to configure the path to ILSpy in the Config as it can be installed anywhere.
    More ILSpy command line support is here: https://github.com/icsharpcode/ILSpy/blob/master/doc/Command%20Line.txt

  18. I really like the casual coding experience of LINQPad.

    Would be nice if it had a little todo list that I could double click on, in order to go to the related todo comment

  20. Visual Studio (and cs.exe) have the option of generating a .xml documentation file alongside the .dll & .pdb. This file enables documentation intellisense.
    Linqpad should be able to provide this intellisense
