  3. Like this:

    reference @"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll";

    using SomeAssemblyNamespace;

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

    or maybe to remain true to the C# standard, use custom attributes:

    [reference(@"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll")]
    [using("SomeAssemblyNamespace")]

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

  4. I often times need to just view the newly created data recently. If this command can be added to the right click on the table menu will be excellent!

  5. I use ManicTime to track my day and it keeps a list of the current active window and the title of that window. For Linqpad, that's just "Linqpad". It would help with time tracking if the document that had current focus would show up in the title of the window.

  6. There are so many requests for adding language x or language y. I started two of them requesting support for IronRuby/ IronPython
    http://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/359780-ironpython-ironruby-support-would-be-nice-

    and Boo http://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/359783-boo-support-would-be-nice

    There are request for hosting Powershell, adding Delphi/Prism.

    Why not add IronJS, Phalanger (for PHP), Nemerle, IronScheme or any other language.

    How about switching the editor to the AvalonEdit of SharpDevelop for creating your own syntax highlighting and Code Completion.

  7. Since hitting Esc doesn't seem to trigger any other action, it would be useful for those of us with muscle memory to hit it when we accidentally ran something we shouldn't have. Much faster/simpler than the 2-key combo of Shift-F5. :)

    I'm not trying to ask for the larger-scope 'allow remapping keyboard shortcuts', just the Escape key. :)

  10. Some kind of mechanism that stores the result of an expression into a variable or RAM storage... that can be used later on.

    Lets say i have a heavy Linq statement that spends 30 seconds to finish - it would be cool to store that data in a variable of some kind that i can call later on.

    "Live objects" might be the name of such...

  11. Add c++ as one of the available languages. Perhaps this lies outside of the intended scope of LINQPad, but a lot of people use it as a snippet compiler, I know I do..

  12. They haven't gotten it right in over 10 years! In 2010 it got a little better. But they need your asynchronous search capability!

  13. Add some level of source control. I would like to have the gists API integrated directly into LINQpad. Because basically gists are scripts.

  14. Can't safely call Write on the TextWriter provided by LinqPad's CreateXhtmlWriter when debugging. If any properties within the object being written throw an exception, the debugger catches this exception and writing ceases.

    The only workarounds are to 'Continue' after each exception (which is tedious if many are thrown), or to disable CLR exceptions and then re-enable them when done.

    It's not possible to have the object's properties not throw exceptions, as they are lazy loaded and will throw when certain fields are not initialised.

  15. It would be nice to be able to show the current editor line with a different background colour. The standard tooltip colour would be fine but make it customisable if you really want :-)

  16. One of the most missing features in linq. Allowing to bulk update/delete/insert rows (maybe as an extension lib like PredicateBuilder) would be absolutely awsome!
    Thanks

  17. A list of previously executed statements and expressions is a useful addition to the My Queries pane or as a separate tab entry. It would be nice that this history can also be queried like the examples.

  19. Please consider NuGet integration.

    I would also suggest changing LINQPad scripts to not just be XML files but indeed something like a tar'd/zip'd archive of XML and DLL files with NuGet integration and update mechanism.

    This would be super compelling and useful and much more light-weight than using NuGet from VS.

  20. When I have a "Customers" table, please support having "Customer" entities.

    At the moment, I have the "Customers"-table in the tree view with a "Customers" entity data type, which is bad.
