  2. Util.WriteCsv method should output DateTime to millisecond accuracy.

    Ideally it should allow us to pass in callback / custom value formatter

  3. VIM Visual Mode:
    Type V and hit three times L.
    Linqpad selects only 3 characters, whereas the original vim would select 4.

    VIM Search replace:
    To replace stuff within the current selection, type in VIM
    :s/Pattern/Replace/g

    New Shortcuts:
    ALT+J / ALT+K navigates to the left / right query tab.

    Thanks for this awesome tool!

  4. I am compiling code with CSharpCodeProvider and getting error CS1701 with message like that: Assuming assembly reference 'Microsoft.Owin, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' matches 'Microsoft.Owin, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35', you may need to supply runtime policy.
    In Visual Studio information stored in assemblyBinding section of app.config resolves this problem.
    How to fix that in LINQPad.

  5. I would love to be able to make lprun open a results window to dump too (identical to the one in linqpad.exe). Perhaps something like lprun "myscript.linq" -format:interactive or something.

    I write a fair number of scripts that dump a whole lot of information and also provide hyperlinqs for taking certain actions based on that information. Like validating a file and providing clickable fixes for any issues.

    It's not hard to just open up LINQPad and run the script, but it'd be great to be able to run a task in my text editor that runs a LINQPad script and…

  6. When constructing a ValueTuple, such as

    var vt = (ItemOne: "This is item 1.", ItemTwo: "This is item 2.");

    and then using the Dump extension method, the dumped output does not reflect the semantic property meanings implied when constructing the ValueTuple.

    It would be nice if instead of Item1 , Item2, etc if you dumped out the actual semantic property names used at instantiation.

    Thank you

    I am using v5.26.01 of LINQPad and v4.4.0 of System.ValueTuple via NuGet / Microsoft.

  9. Currently in the beta charting works really nice, except it is not possible to add an extra XY set, only a Y set can be added using .AddYSeries.

  10. It would be nice to have comment slashes (//) prepended to the first non-whitespace character of a line rather than the beginning of the line.

    Example

    Current functionality - Before using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    \s\s\s\sConsole.WriteLine();
    }

    Current functionality - After using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    //\s\s\s\sConsole.WriteLine();
    }

    Desired functionality - After using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    \s\s\s\s//Console.WriteLine();
    }

    • Sorry for the awkward 'regex'-like values representing a space. This wasn't posting with all the spaces.

  11. Exit insert mode when autocomplete pop-up is visible. Currently, escape just exits the pop-up and not insert mode.

  13. e.g. with the signature "T Dump<T>(Func<T, object> whatToDump)"

    This can then be used to dump a particular part of an object: "person.Dump(p => p.Name)", but the original value is still the result.

  15. Seems like it would be handy to have a way to search the datagrid contents.

    You can use ctrl-f in the standard results but that doesn't appear to work when viewing datagrids.

  16. I would love to be able to add a reference to a LINQPad script similar to how you would add a project reference in Visual Studio. This would be like the My Extensions script, but rather than global, it would be a selective inclusion.

    Main() would not be called, but any types/methods would be available in the referencing script.

  17. LINGQPad could be a perfect tool for Unity game development. Not so much the free version but the debugger capabilities gives people an edge with development aswell faster learning capabilities.

  19. Add the possibility of manually installing the last Beta from the user interface.

    I install the Beta releases every single time. It would be nice to be able to install the Betas without going to the web site, etc.. manually initiated of course.
