  1. What are people's thoughts on this? Which is more important: Oracle, MySql or SqLite? Should the support be through custom Entity Framework-driven DataContexts or via automatic DataContexts?

  2. I'd like to factor out some code into a script I include because I use this code across scripts. I don't want to have to compiled to an assembly and reference it because then I can't "script" it anymore.

    Please include an "include" syntax or GUI setup (which will then obviously manifest itself in the .linq XML prelude.)

  3. Most of our queries' transaction isolation level is ReadUncommitted. This is very important on our production db to minimize the impact.
    I find myself surrounding my queries with TransactionScope all the time.
    In addition, some of the queries requries Snapshot isolation's, etc.
    It would be very helpful to allow to set the isolation level in the advanced query properties or something similar.
    Thanks.

  4. .NET Core is gaining adoption, and I find myself needing to experiment on .NET Core more and more, especially since .NET Core has it's own surface area. It be great to be able to do this in LINQPad.

    I don't need LINQPad to run Mac/Linux, just the Windows version to be able to target .NET Core.

  6. When you have a self hosted feed or a private feed on myget, its typically secured by basic authentication. Would be great if you could add support for this when adding new feeds in the Nuget Settings dialog. Current behavior is that it throws an unauthorized error from Nuget.Core

  7. This function would clean up the statement by providing tabs where necessary (align and indent).

  8. LINQPad is slow when returning large result sets due to it creating and having to render a lot of HTML. It would be nice if there were an option to use a ListView, DataGrid, or any other type of interface that can accept and render data via an IRender interface. It would be great if this were created so that 3rd parties could write Plugins. Additionally, a ComboBox that could be selected would update the results in a different view.

    Of course, it would be difficult to render sub-data (Orders->Products) like is done now, but I think that is an…

  10. SSMS already supported it. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-ssms-mfa-authentication/#connecting-by-using-universal-authentication-with-ssms

    We are migrating password authentication to Azure AD authentication for Azure SQL databases. And the Azure AD is not connected to the AD in corpnet. So we can't use Azure AD Integrated Authentication to access DB on Azure. Also the Azure AD requires certificate authentication, so we can't use Azure AD Password Authentication either. Active Directory Universal Authentication is the only choice.

  11. The Entity Framework support currently requires the different xml files; EF will support Code First (currently in features CTP 3) which is all code, no xml files. It would be great to have LINQPad allow for EF Contexts using Code First.

  12. Allow us to create unit tests using NUnit or similar (either needs a new option in the Language dropdown or a one-liner you could put in your Main function to kick off a test runner). Running it would run all the Unit Test methods it finds. Taking this one step further, you could even support an auto-test mode, where every time you saved, if it compiles it runs all the unit tests it finds, making it the ideal for doing code katas in

    LINQPad now has special xunit support as of 6.9.12, via new options on the Query menu. ‘Add XUnit Test Support’ adds the necessary dependencies + creates a customizable xunit runner. “Run Tests” (shortcut Alt+Shift+R) invokes the RunTests() method.

  13. Title says it all. Autosave would be a very handsome feature!

    This has been implemented as an auto-recovery rather than an auto-save (it has the same end result of not losing your work). A snapshot of a query is taken every 10 seconds if modifications have been made, and before a query is executed.

  14. Use Ctrl D for duplicate: copy the line that the cursor is on to the line below. Currently it isn't doing anything as far as I can see.

  15. I keep double clicking on text in the results pane when viewing results in the rich text format and expect the string to be selected.

    Instead it's somewhat unintuitive and requires a click and drag, which take a fair bit longer if I'm only after the text in a single cell.

  18. Again thinking about screen real estate, it would be useful if I was able to collapse or hide (pin/unpin) the connections panel and the MyQueries/Samples panel - in the same manner that Toolbox, Solution Explorer etc can be hidden/collapsed in Visual Studio.

  19. To close a query you have to use the X button in the upper right corner of the editor. it would be nice if we could have an X on each tab.
