  1. Currently if I have a base class with name and age, then inherit from that to add address. Then create a list of these objects, the output is the reverse of what is expected. I would expect the base class members to be first in the results but they are actually last. Example:
    void Main()
    {
    var p = new List<Person>();

    p.Add(new Person{ Name = "Joe", Age = 25, Address = "Someplace in Australia."});

    p.Add(new Person{ Name = "Ben", Age = 30, Address = "Someplace in Australia."});

    p.Dump();
    }

    class PersonBase
    {
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public…

  3. 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.

  4. 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)

  5. 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.

  6. Even on my dual quad core box with 4GB RAM, LinqPad can take a long time to open. The UI is often unresponsive when switching to the application or compiling/running a query.

    I'd like to see some investment in improving the performance of the application and giving it a more lightweight feel.

  7. In some Windows network environments local profiles sizes are sometimes restricted by group policies, meaning samples can't be download to the default Application Data folders. My Queries has a Set Folder... option. This would be useful for the Samples tab too.

  9. A simple window where Interop definitions can be pasted. These could then be referenced in the main window, methods could quickly be explored and tested.

    1. Bug: Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar, say 15 tabs, take the last one and drag and drop it to move it over, it will jump to the first page worth of tabs (say between 1st and 10th), so you can't move the 14th tab to be the 15th position.

    2. Using the scroll wheel on a mouse could move along the tab bar (as firefox does)

    3. Forward and Backward buttons on the mouse could step between active tabs (as Notepad++ does)

  10. It might be possible to parse the query contents looking for a Main Block or an ; separator to determine if the query is to be treated as C# Expression, C# Statements or C# Program? If so, this would have the advantage that would can highlight and execute statements that happen to be in a 'C# Program' query (rather than having to copy them to another query window).

  11. i.e. Always Show Full List (or press Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+H). Currently you MUST press those keys to get a full list. It would be nice to have an option to show the full list every time.

  12. When I have a "Customers" table, please support having "Customer" entities.

    At the moment, I have the "Customers"-table in the tree view with a "Customers" entity data type, which is bad.

  14. I often times need to just view the newly created data recently. If this command can be added to the right click on the table menu will be excellent!

  15. Like this:

    reference @"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll";

    using SomeAssemblyNamespace;

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

    or maybe to remain true to the C# standard, use custom attributes:

    [reference(@"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll")]
    [using("SomeAssemblyNamespace")]

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

  16. A common SQL Azure connection failure is when you are running behind a proxy/firewall. At my office I cannot connect to SQL Azure without turning on the trust server certificate setting in the connection string. Linqpad doesn't expose this right now.

    Exposing the ability to set the TrustServerCertificate=true in the ConnectionStringBuilder would allow this connection to succeed.
