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".

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.

  1. Allow drag/drop reordering of Connections

    Often, connections (live, staging and test) for similar project don't all get added in consecutive order, but for simplicity, it would be nice to be able to drag and drop the connections to reorder them in the left-hand list.

  4. Resharper integration

    I find myself using Resharper hot-keys in LinqPad by accident. It'd be cool if Resharper worked in LinqPad like it does in VS.

  5. Support Open Types (Dynamic Properties)

    Since linqpad is such a nice UI, it would be great for it to provide first-class support for open types (entities with dynamic properties)

  6. Parse-only/Build-only mode without Executing

    SQL Server Management Studio has a Parse (Ctrl-F5) feature under the Query menu vs. Execute (F5); and Visual Studio has a Build Solution vs. Start Debugging (F5). Both of these options allow you to check for syntax or compile errors without executing the query or running the program. I was surprised not to find this feature in LINQPad also. This would be a very useful feature to me. I hope we could see it in an upcoming release. Thanks, I love LINQPad!

  10. include javascript/jQuery support

    since I believe you said the output pane is already IE/browser based, how about allowing us to point linqpad at an html file, local site, or web page, and let us run javascript snippets or bookmarklets against it for testing? Currently I've not single single decent lightweight javascript or jQuery IDE, even less if you want to test bookmarklets

  11. User-defined mapping of keyboard shortcuts

    Visual Studio has this. It would be lovely to have the same key combinations achieve the same effect across different programs. Hardwired shortcuts are a bit provincial, and problematic for aging neurons.

  13. Add shared directory to My Queries

    We use Linqpad allot at work and it would be great if we could add a network share to the My Queries are, or even add a shortcut in Windows Explorer in the My Queries directory and have it load files from there.

  14. WCF Service References.

    We do it now through a secondary dll and machine.config for configuration. Would prefer to reference the service directly. This would also include the ability to use configuration files.

  15. Add Snippets Tab to house custom drag-and-drop snippets

    Add an additional tab along side the Samples and My Queries tabs that will house and organize my custom snippets. From there I need to be able to drag and drop the snippet into whatever current Linq sheet I am working on. This would save a lot of repetitive typing doing ad-hoc queries.

  16. Remember splitter position

    It is very annoying to have to reposition the query/results splitter for every new query. Can you make it persist to wherever it was last positioned?

  17. Integrate with a code snippet site like Pastie

    It would be nice to send a linqpad query window to something like http://pastie.org/ so that it is easy to request assistance from others.

  18. Allow Multiple Folders (like Win7 libraries) for "My Queries"

    It would be nice to have the ease-of-access of folders in different locations throughout your computer within the "My Queries" window.

    Similar to WIndows 7 Libraries that allow you to add multiple music directories to "My Music" etc. This would be in case you have a folder that you store work queries that you share with others but also a personal folder for your own queries.

  19. Add an "always on top" capability

    Fairly frequently, after working out a solution in LINQPad, I would like to keep it on top while I work in VS or another application.

    It would be very helpful to have a toolbar with a button to toggle "always on top". Can be done in a menu obviously -- but a button that is always available would be GREAT!

  20. Integrate directly into Visual Studio as addin

    make it available as an add-in in Visual Studio, where the whole thing is hosted right inside of Visual Studio, so I don't even have to leave VS
