  1. Similar to visual studio. I have a linqpad script that gets copied into different bin folders. If I have the script open I have no idea which one it is without doing open containing folder.

  2. When I turn on compiler optimizations the query timer disappears. This might be intentional. However, when I disable compiler optimizations the query timer remains hidden. Restarting the application shows the timer again.

    I'm using v6.9.15 Pro Edition.

  3. .. while writing this explanation I noticed that my Async void Main() had an incorrect return type.

    After changing it to Task, everything works as expected.

    Could you please report it as an error when or warning (green squigly) when writing "async void Main" and suggest "async Task Main" instead ?

    When doing the void' version, Linqpad executes and never waits - so the program completes, but run in the background...

  5. Great product, just found a small bug. The Chart Dump is incorrectly being applied to everything dumped after it in this case.

    void Main()
    {
        var a = new[] { 1, 2, 3 }
        .Dump() // adding THIS dumb caused the bug.  remove this and the errorous grouping goes away.
        ; 
    
        a.Chart().Dump("This desc should only be chart");
    
        a.Dump("this is nested...");
        a.Dump("this too.");
    }

  6. Spelling underlines interfere with pattern editing/selections and constitute visual clutter. Patterns and, possibly, input texts are seldom valid to a spellchecker. Moreover, if you try to open the settings from the spelling right-click menu, the page is invalid.

  7. 1:1 relationships would be better represented with entity references on each side - rather than a EntitySet<> on one side.

  9. If you change the default query type to C# Program or C# Statements and then create the query by right clicking on a table then result doesn't add the necessary ";" to the generated query.

  10. Often times I use LINQPad to throw together some sample code to post on Stack Overflow. While the veterans will clearly recognize code that uses the Dump() extension method as LINQPad code, beginners are puzzled. So I change it all to Console.WriteLine before posting. It would be nice if I could start with Console.WriteLine and have that behave the way Dump() would.

  12. As it is with SSMS, I'd like the option to return ALL the results of a query. For example, I'm currently trying to execute a query that should return over 46k rows and I'm only seeing 10k because of the limit imposed by LINQPad.

  13. If I have a long-running query in one tab and switch to a different tab to do other work, I would like the non-active tab to visually show that it's still busy somehow. This way I can tell when it finishes and switch back to check the results.

    The workaround is to open a new instance of LINQPad, but sometimes I have 2 or 3 long-running queries and would rather just stick with tabs if I could get them to communicate their 'still running' status even when inactive. :)

  14. The below code...

    new [] {
    Type.GetType("System.Int32[]"),
    Type.GetType("System.Int32*"),
    Type.GetType("System.Int32&"),
    }.Dump();

    ...dumps [ Type[] (3 items) ] with:
    typeof(Int32[])
    typeof(Int32*)
    typeof(Int32)
    (each element is hyperlinked)

    In this result, the last element "typeof(Int32)" should be dumped as "typeof(Int32&)".
    I think this is a bug and should be fixed.

  15. When I am editing an SQL query it is often useful to know specific information about the fields in a table as they exist in the database, rather than the fields and types that are relevant for C#.

    Currently the treeview shows (potentially modified) names, .NET types and additional fields for associations. The original object name and SQL data type is available by hovering over the entities in the treeview.

    When working on an SQL query it is more useful to have the unmodified database objects and types visible in the treeview.

  16. Ctrl+Shift+M was Copy for Markdown/StackOverflow, but a recent update has also made it Namespace Imports.

    I'd like to keep it as Copy for Markdown/StackOverflow and change Namespace Imports.
