I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Append to querystring

    Great stuff, I'm using it to test a REST service - but it requires a querystring parameter for the apikey. It would be great to have a collection of querystring params that are appended to the url.

  3. Add "Raw" view for OData responses

    When working with OData data services, it would be nice to have the option of viewing the raw HTTP responses (including headers and HTTP response codes)

  4. Alias tables to "var names"

    When I copy/paste from Visual Studio to LINQPad (and back) I have to rename all the table variables to the real table names.
    If I could alias a table, e.g. "Products" into "myProductsTable" the transition from VS to LP would be smooth.

  5. Support Copy & Paste from LINQPad to Google Docs Spreadsheet

    Currently when mulitple columns of data are copied from LINQPad and pasted to a Google Spreadsheet they result in a single column of data, whereas pasting to Excel preserves the columns.

    Supporting Google Spreadsheets would save us Google Apps/Docs users from the extra step of copying or exporting to Excel.

  7. Allow database connection to be disconnected.

    I have a lot of database connections that contain a lot of databases. This means my database drop down contains a lot of databases.

    It would be nice to be able to put the connection in a disconnected state and the databases in that connection would not show up in the database list.

    Then you would be able to "reconnect" or "enable" the connection and the database would be available again.

    This way I can leave all my connection configured and only "enable" or "connect" to the database that I need to work with.

  8. Add preference for disabling of automatic creation of default query template after typing 'from'

    When I am creating a query as soon as I type 'from' and press tab, a default query template is automatically inserted into the editor for me. I would like to have a preference added that would allow the disabling of this behavior similar to the existing 'Enable lambda snippets on query operators' preference. Thanks.

  9. Use LinqPad as Immediate or Watch window (Debug) in VS

    I want to be able to debug using Linq and lambda expressions. I`m missing this very much in VS

  10. Search/filter by table or column name

    For databases with hundreds of tables, it would be great to filter tables and columns by having a textbox at the top of the connection panel. As you type, it would autofilter the currently selected connection.

  12. .linqbat

    Allow to create files with the .linqbat extension and the ability to run them in the command line or double clicking them without opening the full LINQPad UI.

  13. Organize Connections Into Folders

    Would be nice to be able to organize my connections into folders like "Dev", "Test", "Prod", or by focus, like "Reporting", "Web", "Internal", etc.

  14. Add support for calling CLR Stored Procedures that are already defined on a database

    Fairly self explanatory. If a CLR Stored Procedure is defined on a database, I should be able to call it from LinqPad. As of now, they don't show up in the tree and I can't call it directly.

  15. put "X" to close a tab in the tab itself, like VS2010

    Like the change from VS2008 to VS2010, the "X" icon to close a file is on the right-hand side of the tab (at least for western languages)

  16. Add Dump to ExpandoObject

    'System.Dynamic.ExpandoObject' does not contain a definition for 'Dump'

    Can this be added? (Is it possible?)

  17. Have the ability to create templates in my queries?

    It would be nice to click on a template query and get a new copy of that query, rather than edit the query itself. Perhaps a right-click on the query in the "My Queries" tab would let you open/clone the query without having to open the original, clone it, close it, then do what you wanted to do in the first place.

    FYI, I can't live without this LinqPad.

  18. graphs

    Probably Just Me (and I think I could do it myself using MSCHart Add in). but sometimes I would like to be able to do very simple charts of my queries results. Scatter, Block Chart and May Be Pie Chart would probably be enough. like a light weight matlab....

  19. Add a link to the app in programs menu on install

    I was a little surpursed when i installed the app that it was not in the program list. Granted it is small and i typically use the autocomplete to find and launch apps but it does make me question future maintenance, uninstall and clean up issues.

  20. Autocompletion is Incomplete

    Make it clearer that autocompletion does not work with VB, before one commits to a purchase.
