  2. When I typed in the first sample code from C# in a Nutshell, I got a puzzling error message stating that I was trying to use the namespace ('using System;') as a variable. I say this with complete understanding that trapping errors and writing good messages to go with them is challenging, to say the least. Ignoring the supposed error is much preferable to receiving a misleading message--and may be easier to implement within LinqPad.

    MSG: "CS0118 'System' is a namespace but is used like a variable"

  3. I have a two-monitor workstation and often use LINQPad in full-screen mode on my primary (left) monitor. Whenever I click the "Export" drop-down in this scenario, the menu always appears on the 2nd (right) monitor.

  5. public class ApplicationUserManager : UserManager<ApplicationUser>
    {
    }

    gives the followin error: The type 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' cannot be used as type parameter 'TUser' in the generic type or method 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.UserManager<TUser>'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'UserQuery.ApplicationUser' to 'Microsoft.AspNet.Identity.IUser<string>'.

    Is there a way to resolve that?

  6. Jus t purchased the product and was expecting autocomplete to work in SQL as well as everything else. The whole reason for making the purchase. I see I have 30 days to play with it and ask for a refund which I'm pretty sure I will do.

  7. Copy/paste-able namespace and nuget references.

    I often copy/paste LINQPAD snippets between computers (over RDP), chats, OneNote etc. This works great if the snippet has default namespace and no nuget references. However, when it does, Copy/Paste takes a bit more work to re-setup namespaces.

    Would be great if LINQPAD had "Show namespace and nuget comment" option, or "Edit->Copy complete snippet", embedding the <Query> part of the script into comments. E.g.

    // #@kind Statements
    // #@ref <RuntimeDirectory>\System.Windows.Forms.dll
    // #@using System.Windows.Forms
    MessageBox.Show("Hello");

    Or just

    /* @#Linqpad
    <Query Kind="Statements">
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Windows.Forms.dll</Reference>
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Security.dll</Reference>
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Configuration.dll</Reference>
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\Accessibility.dll</Reference>
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Deployment.dll</Reference>
    <Reference><RuntimeDirectory>\System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll</Reference>
    <Namespace>System.Windows.Forms</Namespace>
    </Query>*/
    MessageBox.Show("Hello");

  9. when you press Ctrl+TAB to swtich from one query to another, a new icon appears in the taskbar (active queries form). Is it possible to remove this or have an option to now show it?

    Every time I hit ctrl+tab my taskbar moves and I think something important is happening.

  10. Hi, can you please add a function that clears the current SQL dump pane? This would be helpful while stepping thru code with the debugger when I want to keep track with the latest SQL statement showing up in that pane. Maybe a button next to "Analyze SQL v".

  14. When viewing the IL listing for a piece of code, it would be nice to see the actual opcodes for educational purposes. Or at least an option to turn that on or off.

  15. I ran into an issue attempting to use LINQPad to try out https://www.nuget.org/packages/libsodium-net/ - the package imported, but code failed with a DllNotFoundException. The package wraps a third-party DLL, which gets installed to a subdirectory of AppData\Local\LINQPad\NuGet.FW46. In Visual Studio, it apparently uses Baseclass.Contrib.Nuget.Output to copy the package output folder contents to the build folder. This doesn't work with LINQPad.

  16. When I run queries, particularly as C# Programs that use the construct List<string> { ... }.Contains(q.fieldName), I very often get the message in the status bar "Error running query". Sometimes if I re-run the query a few times it will give me the results successful. Other times, it just reports this error every time. I need to know the actual error message to have much chance to fix it.

  17. I put MyQueries on a network document drive to share on multiple servers and VMs. Unfortunately my company puts this on slow yet economical storage.

    For some reason this makes LinqPad's UI dreadfully slow. Can this be improved?

    I moved the scripts back to a local folder and it works fine but it would be nice to go back to the network folder.

  18. You already allow the main method to be async (returning a Task). So implementing a soft-cancel button which only becomes visible when the main method signature contains a CancellationToken argument shouln'd be very complicated.
