  1. If I have open 4 tabs, then close LinqPad and restart it again, it would be nice to have the tab's open as it was before. Same behavior as notepad++

  4. It's faster than alt-F4, and works in many other applications with multiple tabs.

  5. When exporting to excel table which has more lines value in one cell, linqpad splits the lines into separate cells and other "single line" values on the same row are merged into one. It would be nice to have multiline values also in one cell in excel.

  6. LINQ to SQL can't be used with stored procedures that use table valued parameters. However, since LINQPad is sooooo much more than a simple LINQ tool :-), it would be useful if stored procedures that use table valued parameters were also visible and editable and even usable in appropriate ADO.NET code.

  7. As in VS WPF design.code window panes, I really like to have the ability to create vertical panes for coding and results whenever I want. Like to press some button and change their orientation from Horizontal to vertical or vice versa.

  8. It would be great to have the ability to choose a version other than the latest version of a Nuget package. Oftentimes, we find that latest versions of packages can break functionality or we are just not ready to move to latest version of package yet and we are not in control of the Nuget package itself.

    I would like to be able to add Nuget reference and optionally supply a specific version string (it can be manual entry and not a list).

  9. Would be cool if we could share queries to frineds through instant messaging in a similar way that Small Basic does it:
    http://blogs.msdn.com/smallbasic/
    it will store the query on a server somewhere and give a short link you can hand out for people to use.

  11. When dumping images to the output window, sometimes it would be nice to specify the maximum display size for the image, so that a large image doesn't fill up the entire results window causing much scrolling to get to anything below.

  12. Instead of a new tabs always being named "Query n", allow the tab to be renamed without saving it to a file first. I think it would also make sense to not allow renaming of a tab from a file that was loaded.

  13. I'd like an option for line wrap in the text editing pane. Other text editors have this option (notepad++, visual studio)

  15. SQL Azure won't allow you to use the same methods as an onpremises version, so it currently fails on connection. However, fundamentally it is SQL Server 2008 under the covers and would be easy to support. This would be the best cloud database mgmt tool.

  16. I love LINQPad, but I really, really wish it noticed if the files changed on disk while they were being edited. Currently the application will overwrite a changed file on disk when it has been modified by another editor. There are two scenarios where this happens, one is when the file is under version control and I have reverted it to an older version or otherwise changed it using some version control function and the other is when I have used some other editor to edit the file (such as SlickEdit or Visual Studio, both of which detect if LINQPad…

  17. Please save all "unsaved" queries automatically. I don't care where, but I don't want to see any "do you want to save your changes" dialogs unless I try to close a query window with unsaved changes.

    When starting linqpad, my previously unsaved queries (session) should be available, perhaps even with my cursor where I left it.

  18. Would be a great addition imho.
    This would enable the user to generate quick'n'dirty reports, add links for directing to (filesystemfolders/websites)
    or mailto links to send an email

  19. When using a DbContext for a connection, LINQPad currently only supports parameterless constructors or constructors accepting a string. Please consider supporting IDbContextFactory<TContext> with Entity Framework POCO connections.
