  1. It would be nice to be able to show the current editor line with a different background colour. The standard tooltip colour would be fine but make it customisable if you really want :-)

  2. Hi,

    In the left panel which holds all the connection a new menu items should be added -- expand / collapse all below this node. While creating SQL queries I often forget which tables has which fields, and I have to manually expand the nodes (root > db > user > table). It takes a time. With my suggestion user will be able to perform this action in 2 clicks.

    Thanks

  4. I live in sweden and swedish Exception message are quite useless when posting online (in help formus) etc. Would be greate to set the CultureInfo so Linqpad returns English exception messages.

  5. vb 2010 does not require the "_" when a new line starts with a query clause. It would be nice if you didn't either.

  6. I would like an option to auto-include the indentation of first line for copy-paste convenience,

    I find when I copy-paste pieces of code around, I place the cursor usually at the starting word. Then I would hold the shift key to select the lines below. This results in excluding indentation characters of the first line, but including the indentation for the lower lines.

    When you then paste this block, you would place the cursor at the correct position, but the lines under that appear 'one level too deep'.

    I could work around it, by adjusting my selection to include the…

  7. Difficult to debug without it - I'm using LINQPad as a sandbox for most of my development, much faster than VS2010

  8. I'm getting a large collection of files in "My Queries". The "Organize..." button helps but it would be great if the files in the trees had stars icon that I could click on to toggle as favourite scripts. Perhaps a third tab named "Favourites" that lists them all together?

    LINQPad rocks!

  10. Almost every week LinqPad give a new update verision. But as a user I don't know how to use these new feature, so these valueable feature can not make any value for me. I need some code samples show me how to use these new feature. So please add a help item under help menu to include code samples for new features and linq tips and .net tips...etc.

  11. If uses adjust the cols in a query result set, then if they run that query again and the result "shape" is the same, then use these adjusted col widths for these new results.

    Only if the shape of the results changes from one run to the next is there any need to reset these (even in that case it could remember the widths I guess - on a per col basis)

  14. The amount of duplicate SQL Parameters are too damn high :-)

    eventhough i in C# declare the inputs as variables, the SQL parameters are duplicated pr use of the paramenter.

    eg:
    var DS = 127;
    var genart = "00402";
    var critno = 100;

    becomes :
    -- Region Parameters
    DECLARE @p0 Int SET @p0 = 100
    DECLARE @p1 VarChar(1000) SET @p1 = '00402'
    DECLARE @p2 NVarChar(1000) SET @p2 = '-1'
    DECLARE @p3 Int SET @p3 = 100
    DECLARE @p4 Int SET @p4 = 2
    DECLARE @p5 VarChar(1000) SET @p5 = '00402'
    DECLARE @p6 NVarChar(1000) SET @p6 = '-1'
    DECLARE @p7 Int…

  16. We have 2 SQL servers set up with mirroring. Some databases are live on one and passive on the other and vice versa. It would be handy if I could put Failover Partner in the connection string to save me having to have 2 different connections.

  18. We are using the IQ "driver" to connect to an Oracle database. When expanding a table, the list of columns in the table is displayed. It would be a huge help if this list could be sorted. We have several tables each with over a 100 columns and it becomes very difficult to find the column we're looking for.

    We'd liek to see an option (perhaps in Preferences) that allows us to see the list of columns sorted alphabetically (or reverse alphabetically).

    Thanks

  19. I run queries from time to time, and every time I open a query, i need to adjust the height of Results Panel. It would be very helpful to save the layout for each query. So LINQPad could be used a workspace.

  20. Due to the nature of Linqpad, I'm often using it for handling one-off processes or experimenting. It would be nice to be able to quickly step through all the saved states of a particular snippet, etc. Could marry with an advanced Undo system.
