  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  6. It's a very common problem to have to combine CSV files together. A data context that allowed you to add multiple CSV files and generate a static acessor off column names would be incredible useful

  7. I would like to be able to take data from multiple sources and munge them together, but right now only a single context is allowed. I guess you could do this with mega data context that references other data contexts.

  9. I can effectively do this using export to Excel and then select all / copy. But I do a lot of statistical analysis and need to copy data results to and from other programs. They support importing from the clipboard, but the clipboard text must be comma or tab separated (or even fixed--parsable in a line-per-row fashion--i.e., not markup).

    It would also be nice if you could suppress the summary line.

  10. i.e. Always Show Full List (or press Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+H). Currently you MUST press those keys to get a full list. It would be nice to have an option to show the full list every time.

  11. Similar to notepad++ add some context menu items for the tabs to include

    -> Copy full filepath to clipboard
    -> Copy filename to clipboard
    -> Copy DirectoryPath to clipboard

  12. It would be nice if it was possible to add parameters to a linqpad query so that when you run it you are prompted to supply a parameter value. I realise I can just edit the contents of the file with a new value, but being able to treat a linqpad query as a small program that takes some parameters and then returns results would be useful.

  14. It might be possible to parse the query contents looking for a Main Block or an ; separator to determine if the query is to be treated as C# Expression, C# Statements or C# Program? If so, this would have the advantage that would can highlight and execute statements that happen to be in a 'C# Program' query (rather than having to copy them to another query window).

    1. Bug: Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar, say 15 tabs, take the last one and drag and drop it to move it over, it will jump to the first page worth of tabs (say between 1st and 10th), so you can't move the 14th tab to be the 15th position.

    2. Using the scroll wheel on a mouse could move along the tab bar (as firefox does)

    3. Forward and Backward buttons on the mouse could step between active tabs (as Notepad++ does)

  18. The Control Structure Diagram add visual symbol to code that makes the code much more easier to grasp for beginners. Such an implementation in linqpad would just rock!

  19. Util.ReadLine is very handy, but sometimes I use it to enter passwords, and I don't want other people looking at the screen to see my password... A Util.ReadPassword method that hides the input would be nice
