  1. Pasting query results into Excel includes HTML formatting which is messy - could this be stripped away to get a more Excel-friendly output?

  2. I would like to be able to also use LinqPad to just drop in an extension method for testing. I don't want to have to write windows class library project to test a simple extension idea.

  3. The new version is only x86 (which of course can be handy sometimes on a x64 OS, so please provide both)

  5. Linqpad should monitor open files and prompt the user to reload them if an external process updates them, such as git/source control updating the file.

  6. Install Notepad++ -> Create a New File -> Close Notepad -> No Annoying Save File Dialogs -> Re-open Notepadd++ -> Files are Still there

    Many use cases.

    Keeps my flow going if you will

  7. Recently, .NET 5 released with an native ARM64 on Windows. If LINQPad supports native ARM64 support, it will be great.

  8. "Copy selection" works fine but often I need to copy also the header of the grid. SSMS has a similar option named "Copy with header".

  9. It would be useful if the results pane could be detatched into a separate window for easier viewing.

    Since LINQPad now supports Programs as well Statements, the ability to make the most of screen real estate becomes more pertinent.

  11. As mentioned here: http://forums.oreilly.com/content/C-3-0-in-a-Nutshell/5390/Linqpad-And-System-drawing/

    It would be very handy if linqpad could render System.Drawing and graphics objects in the render window as they would be drawn, rather than only with the Dump() method.

  12. Sometimes it is easiest to copy and paste using directives from source code. However, if I paste the following:
    using System;

    I get the following error:
    Identifier expected; 'using' is a keyword

  14. Some code requires higher privileges. Sure you can run LINQPad itself as Administrator - but then access to e.g. network share might not work and it is better to limit the higher access rights to just the execution of a single script. So an option for a query "Requires Administrative Privileges" would be great. Values: true, false. Maybe an addtional optional would be: Always ask for Administrator priviledges (that is: on every execution elevate again) or "Ask only once". Then only the first execution would request elevation. Further executions would run automatically in an already elevate security context. Also a…

  15. I already own a license to LINQPad for Windows, but don't necessarily want to fire up Parallels for a quick thing. Would love to be able to run LINQPad in macOS natively as I move more and more of my development to .NET Core

  17. We recently upgraded a project 5 to EF6 and while linqpad "works" there are a number of issues.

    1; When displaying a Query all navigation properties are loaded even if LazyLoadingEnabled is set to false (the "...Reference" properties are displayed)
    2; It is impossible to expand a Connection (upper left window)
    3; No filtering is performed for properties displayed in the results so the output becomes huge with whole screens of EntityReferences and AssosicationSets (EntityKeys are also displayed)

    Most if not all of theses issues should be quite easily fixable by updating any special logic for ObjectContext to include the…

  19. I am using LINQPad as a general purpose C# scripting/code snippets IDE. Just introducing a code folding feature would tremendously improve the usability, especially in the "C# Program" mode.

  20. Sometimes I want to create my Entity Framework model as internal, but also use it from LINQPad. It would be good if there was a way to do this without having to change all model items from internal to public, and then back again when I want to release my assembly.
