  1. Currently if I instant share something, and want to make a small change, then I have to create new instant shares each time. Perhaps a simple solution is for linqpad to create a "shared" folder, inside that are files named according to the bitly styled instant share 38dHLx.linq etc. If I delete anything in that folder, then you (linqpad website) can delete the corresponding instant share, if I press control+u when inside a file thats an instant share, it should update? This will avoid linqpad having to create a whole web CRUD interface around "manging" my shares, or, reproducing GIST…

  2. When writing queries against a Teradata ObjectContext, the Results, Lambda and IL views all work as expected, by the SQL view returns nothing. It'd be really handy to have this working, and shouldn't be too hard to implement as simple workarounds already exist. (Just cast a LINQ statement to ObjectQuery and call ToTraceString() on the result - http://developer.teradata.com/blog/dsakai/2010/11/retrieving-the-sql-generated-by-the-entity-provider-for-teradata)

  5. I mostly find that I need to filter by the primary key id. It would be handy to have a quick way of inserting the primary id name.

    Perhaps a shortcut key, or perhaps even just putting the primary id at the top of the drop down autocomplete.

  7. Current if there are overloads of methods, we cannot distinguish them from IL. Please learn from other tools e.g. ILSPY and show method signatures (parameter types) and return types.

  9. Integrated GUI builder

    If we had a GUI designer for win-forms (or similar) then small applications could be built. Things like combo-boxes, buttons, and standard controls with event handlers would be great.

  10. Add to the File Save As menu with an option to save a query as a '.cs. file with the Main() and using statements automatically inserted. This could otherwise be implemented as some king of Export functionality.

  11. It would help tremendously for the visual presentation of numbers, if numbers had their decimal place in the same visual column.

    eg: PadRight with zeroes until all numbers have the same number of decimals

    i know that such procedure is kind of tricky to do, because you need to look at all numbers in a grid before showing it.

    but i think the performance-hit is worth the extra render calculation.

  13. Some types in .NET doesn't popup in the Intellisense menu..

  16. Provide horizontal scrolling without having to go to the horizontal scrollbar, say with SHIFT + Scroll. I dont know where i saw it, but i think it would be useful as some entities have many properties and we need to scroll right

  18. Sometimes a table might have a couple columns at most that are for viewing, the others are foreign keys. It would be nice to hide those if I don't use the hyperlinks.

  19. The namespace import smart tag works great, but if you are accessing an extension method that it won't offer any suggestions.

  20. Hi,
    In order to paste results in Gmail:
    Or 1. Export to excel and attach.
    Or 2. Export to Word, copy (as RTF), then paste in Gmail.

    Sometimes I just want to paste some small results to Gmail. It would be awesome if you let to copy the result in RTF (even by loosing some of the formatting).

    Thanks!
