  2. Probably Just Me (and I think I could do it myself using MSCHart Add in). but sometimes I would like to be able to do very simple charts of my queries results. Scatter, Block Chart and May Be Pie Chart would probably be enough. like a light weight matlab....

  3. Allow to create files with the .linqbat extension and the ability to run them in the command line or double clicking them without opening the full LINQPad UI.

  4. When I am creating a query as soon as I type 'from' and press tab, a default query template is automatically inserted into the editor for me. I would like to have a preference added that would allow the disabling of this behavior similar to the existing 'Enable lambda snippets on query operators' preference. Thanks.

  5. When I copy/paste from Visual Studio to LINQPad (and back) I have to rename all the table variables to the real table names.
    If I could alias a table, e.g. "Products" into "myProductsTable" the transition from VS to LP would be smooth.

  7. Pretty simple - lets me keep my hands closer to the money spot on the keyboard. I find F5 to be disrupting to my keyboard position.

  9. When using LinqPad for sql editing (i.e. as part of stored procedures, dragging table names from the tree view gives the wrong name because you are pluralising by adding "s". Would also be great if app automatically could fill in the schema for a table when dragged onto a sql query page.

  10. I would like the autocomplete list to use a most recently used (MRU) member selection algorithm that highlights the most recently used member in the list. As you know, Visual Studio already does this, and it saves a great deal of time.

    This would be more than simply selecting the last used member after typing a dot (though that is a great start). It would also select the most recently used member for a given autocomplete character sequence. So if on an IEnumerable<T> I used FirstOrDefault() and then later used SingleOrDefault(), the next time I type "." on an IEnumerable<T>…

  12. The Control Structure Diagram add visual symbol to code that makes the code much more easier to grasp for beginners. Such an implementation in linqpad would just rock!

  14. Can't safely call Write on the TextWriter provided by LinqPad's CreateXhtmlWriter when debugging. If any properties within the object being written throw an exception, the debugger catches this exception and writing ceases.

    The only workarounds are to 'Continue' after each exception (which is tedious if many are thrown), or to disable CLR exceptions and then re-enable them when done.

    It's not possible to have the object's properties not throw exceptions, as they are lazy loaded and will throw when certain fields are not initialised.

  15. Some kind of mechanism that stores the result of an expression into a variable or RAM storage... that can be used later on.

    Lets say i have a heavy Linq statement that spends 30 seconds to finish - it would be cool to store that data in a variable of some kind that i can call later on.

    "Live objects" might be the name of such...

  18. I have a lot of queries I use day to day. I have recently started using SubmitChanges to update data when needed. I have this line commented out by default but worry that sometimes I could forget. Would be nice to have an option to that when enabled asks for confirmation to perform SubmitChanges()

  19. I really like the casual coding experience of LINQPad.

    Would be nice if it had a little todo list that I could double click on, in order to go to the related todo comment

  20. VS 2010 Premium or Ultimate has a refactor feature (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd193416.aspx) for SQL that allows the expansion of wildcards such that:

    TableA
    {
    Col1 int
    Col2 int
    Col3 int
    }

    select * from TableA could be refactored into:

    select [t0].Col1, [t0].Col2, [t0].Col3 from TableA [t0]

    Much of the time I will start out writing the select * from TableA statement and later need to go back and define out the columns.
