  1. "Open in Excel" also copies column names from the output, but "Open selected cells" does not.
    It can be very handy if the latter could also copy column names, independent of what has been selected (cell, cells, columns or rows). Of course only column names of cells to copy have to be included.
    Add as an option (because it may not be wanted every time).

  2. If I never use a certain language (e.g. C#, F# or Visual Basic) I should be able to set an option that will exclude options based on that language from the language dropdown.

  3. When dumping an IEnumerable<T> source, LINQPad also displays the count of items or count of initial items if the number of items exceeds a defined limit. It would be nice to a count (updated live while subscribed) when IObservable<T> sources are dumped.

  4. I wanted to post a serious performance issue (all the time, even with the beta) when running linqpad in parallels on mac. Resizing window hangs the machine from 1 to 3 seconds. Anyway, I couldnt post this feedback or create an issue on Linqpad forum as that requires me to login using OpenID, which I don't use.

  5. It's kinda getting into the way for samples. Not a very big deal though, but if there's an option to grey out the Dump() function, the main statement would be a little bit more clear.

    • Move the LINQPad specific XML configuration in the *.linq (and add *.cs too, if not possible already) files inside comment, so the same source is usable e.g. in VS.
    • ...and permit using such *.cs (or other X# language) files just like *.linq files.
    • Refresh changed file automagically (if not changed in LINQPad, or verify if file already changed in LINQPad)

    This would allow quite fluent cross-usage of code between various development tools and LINQPad. And shoud not be very hard to implement?

  8. When closing LINQPad with unsaved changes in open queries a dialog is displayed asking "Save changes to the following queries?".

    There may be several queries open that the user does wish to save along with one or more they do not wish to save. Currently one must cancel the dialog, then close each unwanted query and dismiss its prompt to save, before requesting to close once again and confirming that you wish to save the listed queries.

    It would be more convenient if the list on the prompt dialog was selectable, either as a checked list or a multi-select list,…

  9. Keep past results available across multiple queries, like TOAD and TOAD for SQL Server. It makes comparing results easy, and is very useful when debugging a query.

    Allowing for a user-set 1-99 (default to 5 or 10) results tabs to be visible would be wonderful. I sometimes use TOAD just to get the result history, and then translate the SQL to Linq, and test the results in LinqPad.

    This is my #1 desire for LinqPad, and should be easy to implement.

  10. First of all. Thanks for this great tool. It made (at least in my opinion) a much better devloper out of me regarding how to write/test & improve linq-queries. Now, this is a suggestion I have:

    As I am always using the results-window outside of the main-window (on my second screen), it would be really nice and helpful if LINQPad would store exactly this setting.
    Then, when starting LINQPad, it should move the position of the window to the same position as it was left when closing LINQPad the last time.

  12. I have been trying to use FSLab (F# data science tools) in the latest version of LinqPad. It seems that LP is using a very old version of FSharp.Core.dll (v4.3.0.0). The assemblies in the latest version of FSLab look to have been built again F# 4.0, with FSharp.Core.dll version 4.3.1.0. This creates all sorts of version issues because LP seems to be explicitly loading 4.3.0.0; specifically miss method exceptions. It would be great if you could add a setting to specify the version of the F# tools and libraries to use. It would make LP a much more useful tool…

  13. I have placed my LinqPad folders inside a "OneDrive for Business"-folder (and made a junction to it in my documants folder :))

    But now Onedrive is complaining that I have a invalid character in "C# Snippets", which turnsout to be the # character.

    Can I rename that folder without losing the functionality?

  15. Add commas (or whatever the user's localization number delimiter is) to the number of rows returned that is displayed in the status bar under the DataGrid. When the number is large, like 849054, it's easier to read it in groups as 849,054.

  16. It should be useful to rename the method to Util.SaveData and add a description to better explain what is the saved value, not only the key.

    And add an overload to save data linked with a LINQPad user to allow to have different values for the same key to export and import the passwords to other machines across the team.

    I've created a script to export/import the password using an encrypted .ZIP file.

    Thank you!

  18. There's a very nice feature that shows broken connections in the Connections panel. It would be nice to have something similar in the connection drop down.

  19. So it is easier to identify. All named "Query 1", "Query 2" doesn't tell much.
