Add Connections using Data Context from a NuGet Package
It would be great to be able to package up custom DbContext assemblies and app.configs (e.g. dev, uat, prod) in a NuGet package then reference the package from the "Add Connection" dialog.

create Comment uncomment button/shortcuts
In visual studio and SSMS we have buttons/shortcuts to highlight a block of code and comment it out or uncomment it. I would like to be able to comment in and out parts based on changes I make to one based on the other.

Copy to CSV or similar
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.

Add ability to customize the table context menu in the schema tree
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.

Integrate with GitHub (gist)
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".

autocomplete data-entry on "Additional Namespace Imports" tab using info from the assemblies on the "Additional References" tab.
Typing namespaces is error prone and not validated on the Additional-Namespace-Imports tab. In loading the the "Additional References" assemblies, the namespaces (including spelling and character-casing) could be auto-completed to their correct values. I forgot the case of one character in the namespace, and my only clue was that intellisense wasn't picking up the classes that I expected in the namespace I had mistyped.

Allow users to disable highlighted text execution
If I attempt to run a query with anything highlighted only the highlighted text is executed. This is a really nice feature for some scenarios but I'd really like the ability to turn it off.
When I'm building longer code queries i almost always have code highlighted inadvertently so I am constantly accidentally executing a few lines of code. This is usually just annoying but it has a huge potential to be dangerous as well as it lets me accidentally bypass my other conditions when doing data operations.

Support EF derived entity types in the schema tree
If one has derived entity types defined in the model and doesn’t use MEST (default scenario), the derived entities are not shown in the schema tree, since only entity sets defined in the model are currently shown. Per default it means only base entity types. It makes model exploration capability very limited. Consider a model where all the entities derive from a single base type MyObject (arguable but viable design). Then you end up with only one “table” entry MyObjects in the schema tree with few to none properties defined. All the hundreds of “real” types with all their valuable…

Support F# under Visual Studio 2012/Windows 8
Currently, latest release looks for fsc.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft F#\v4.0\, but under VS 2012 on Win8, it's actually under C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\F#\3.0\Framework\v4.0\

Map char(1) to string, as sqlmetal does
When I generate a DataContext through sqlmetal, it converts all char fields to strings. Not what I'd expect it to do, but not a bad idea.
When I generate my entities through LinqPad, char fields are left as char, making my sqlmetal generated code incompatible with LinqPad.Just as there are options on pluralizing and capitalisation, It would be useful to have a "convert char to string" option as well.

Export Query Option
I have been using LinqPad for a while and have created a lot of extensions and other helpful utilities in My Extensions. When I go to share a LinqPad query with someone else, I forget that I am using my extensions and so they cannot compile or run it.
It would be great if there was an "Export Query" function that would detect calls into "My Extensions" and copy applicable (or all) code to the bottom of the query (query would have to be forced to C# Program Mode). Then the query would be ready to send to someone else,…

Make the Production flag user configurable
I love the idea of annotating a database session with a flag similar to the colors in the SSMS Tools for SQL Server. I never connect to a production system, but I connect to many remote databases and would love to be able to discern the connection quickly.

Add support for InternalsVisibleTo on assemblies with a strong name
I know that I can use the option to enable InternalsVisibleTo in LinqPad (https://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/513533-add-support-for-internalsvisibleto), but this only works if the assembly does not have a strong name.
It would be good if there was a way to add LINQPadQuery with a strong name as a friend.

Detect Oracle VirtualBox as a VM When Checking Licensing
The Licensing conditions say: "three computers ... plus 3 virtual machines running MS VPC, Hyper-V or VMWare". Does anyone else use Oracle's Virtual Box to run VM's in a development environment? Whenever I install LinqPad on a VBox VM, it counts against my PC installs and is not detected as a VM. VM's are for tearing down and setting up quickly and so the "six transfers per year" doesn't cut it either. I actually bought a second license to have to stop deactivating from my non-VM hardware so often.

Allow users to specify table relations in DB schema on LinqPad side
I have a back end DB for an ERP system which has thousands of tables but all the relations between those tables are serviced by ERP itself.
When I need to write a query to that DB I have to make all the joins explicitly, which makes query ugly and must be repeated in each query. I cannot touch the DB itself - it is governed by ERP, but if I could specify relations between tables on LinqPad side, then I could use full power of Linq queries every time. The relations should be addable ad hoc, one at a…9 votes -
Export Connection Strings of Saved Connections

Enable Excel export without having Excel installed
I often run Linqpad on a server where I don't have Excel installed (due to the SQL server being behind a firewall).
It would be nice if the Excel export could work regardless of Excel beeing installed on the machine or not.
Perhaps using a library like ClosedXML or similar.9 votes -
sort database names
When I connect to a server which has a lot of databases (Azure in my case), it would be nice if the list of databases could be sorted alphanumerically in the connection window.
It's possible this option exists, but I have yet to find it!
