  1. Maybe this can already be done, but it would be great to write a LINQ Query then instead of just viewing the SQL the ability to view as a Trigger, View or Stored Procedure.

  2. Quite often those totals make no sense and confuse users when exported.
    BTW, thanx for the linqpad!

  3. I'm starting to have a big folder hierarchy in My Queries, using each sub folder for a specific purpose.

    The MyExtensions class is growing huge, if I could have one extension class per sub folder I would organize my extensions in a much clearer way.

    I also hit a wall when I wanted to use a dll from a previous version that was already included in the global extensions. My query failed with exception: "Assembly 'MyExtensions.FW40 ...' uses 'MyAssembly, Version 2.0.0.0' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'MyAssembly, Version 1.0.0.0'.

  4. Create Invoke-LinqPadQuery-Cmdlet for powershell: Instead of format the output as Text/Html write the objects given to "Dump" to the powershell pipe for further processing

  6. In my workplace there are 4 environments with 4 servers each, with 10 databases each. When I need to change environments i have a lot of servers to scroll to, even though I only ever use 8 of the databases in each of the 4 environments. It's be really nice if I could mark a server/database as a favorite, and have it be at the top of the list.

  7. I've implemented a Task timeout extension to abandon long running tasks. When that task is setup to check for a cancellation token's IsCancellationRequested property the task can finish appropriately.

    Currently when calling Util.ReadLine or when awaiting Util.ReadLineAsync the task gets abandoned but not cancelled. The user prompt box remains open and I haven't found a way to cancel\remove\reset it.

    A cancellation timeout (or cancellation token on the async method) would be useful for automatically selecting the default value after a specified timeout has elapsed. Execution could then be terminated or continued as the script has been directed.

  8. Code folding works already for properties and methods but not for comments which use the three slash prefix such as:
    /// <summary>
    /// Gets or sets the name
    /// </summary>
    public string Name { get; set; }

  9. Small request. I love the visualisation feature "Show Graph" and it would be nice to have the option to automatically graph all columns in a resultset.

  10. In a .linq file there would be a reference to a config file. That file is loaded as the configuration for whatever runs in the file. This allows code to run that expect certain values in the config, such as anything from the Enterprise Library. It also ensures that the code you call does exactly the same an on a clients configuration.

  11. I always look at them in SSMS. I think that SQL Server returns them as XML so it should not be hard to print that out.

  12. 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!

  16. something along the lines of either:
    A) a plugin to visual studio (toolbar button) that I can click "open in Linqpad" that will launch linqpad with a reference to the assembly of the current project, plus a dialog that pops up, where I can select any of the other projects in the solution to also reference, this will automatically bring in the namespaces as well.

  17. Having just started a new job, I'm working with entirely new tables. It would be really great if LINQPad would let you sort the columns in the display. It would make finding a column so much easier.

  20. 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.
