  2. I have an SQL Server database which is being used for a MVC 4 project in VS 2010. I'm using LINQPad to run queries against my database. When I open LINQPad, I can connect to my .mdf database file and run queries as expected. When I close LINQPad, open up VS and try to view my database in server explorer the following error is shown:

    "The database 'C:..... .MDF' cannot be opened because it is version 706. This server supports version 655 and earlier. A downgrade path is not supported. Could not open new database 'C:..... .MDF'. CREATE DATABASE is…

  3. The ability to search the documentation via google by pressing the F1 key is great, however the order of the terms is a bit different than titles in the MSDN docs.

    For example, pressing F1 on the someType.Namespace queries the google for:

    System Type.Namespace property

    which doesn't yield expected results, however:

    Type.Namespace property System

    does. Should take less time to fix than it took me to write this :)

  4. It would be handy to have "select" align underneath "from" like it does in visual studio. I often find myself tabbing code around to align it, but in visual studio its automatic alignment seems more natural.

  5. 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…

  6. 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)

  9. 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.

  11. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.

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

    also, these types should be highlighted with colours, just like in Visual Studio ...

  20. 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
