  3. I just upgraded to LINQPad 6, and I cannot see the views from my database, only the tables.
    I am connecting to a MySQL database.
    I was able to see the views in LINQPad 5 just before the upgrade.
    Thanks.

  4. It would be useful to have a tab before "My queries" with the preferred queries to get a link to start them quickly, also visible in the search query, to simply find the correct script.

    We have thousands of queries in 8 years that we use LINQPad.

  5. I made a script to modify a registry key, and I realized I needed to run it as an admin for the script to work. I needed to save the script first, so I could close LinqPad, and reopen it as an admin. Some way to elevate the current query, or reopen LinqPad as admin without needing to save would be cool.

  7. Please make it easy to find and copy the existing activation code from within Linqpad itself. I was going to examine upgrading to version 6 today but can't as I don't have this code to hand. And I couldn't locate it in Linqpad :(

    This feature would probably get a few more impulse purchases before Xmas! :)

  9. On clicking Add connection sap bo sttle join dialog will appear where one may define relation with other tables. In many databasese relations may not be defined explicitly. This feature solves the priblem.

  12. When using the linqpad driver with EF Core and provide my own assembly, i want to quickly change the connectionstring via the connection dropdown.

    I could add every database to a own connection entry, but i want to specify the databaseserver and then quickly change the database.

  14. Would be great if LINQPad supported WIndows 10 ARM64 build.
    As of Feb 2020 .NET 5 preview doesn't support Windows Forms and WPF and will be released in Nov 2020 and .NET 3.1 doesn't support ARM64 Windows devices at this time.
    Thanks

  15. The EF Core DbContext that supports the DbContextOptions<TContext> does not support any other configuration options -- just the connection string. I really need it to allow Lazy Loading supports and Detailed Errors.

    THANK YOU.

  16. This should be available in this software. As someone that has years of experience in SQL, I find LINQ syntax to be appalling and extremely confusing. I bought the professional version in hopes that this software implemented this feature, it does not, and yes I read the previous request and your reply to the user about VB6 to C# 4 comparison but highly disagree with your decision.

  18. I tried to use System.ServiceModel.Primitives NuGet package and specifically the SynchronizedCollection<T>. However after installing the package I'm getting the following error when declaring variable of type SynchronizedCollection<string>:

    CS0433 The type 'SynchronizedCollection<T>' exists in both 'System.Private.ServiceModel, Version=4.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' and 'System.ServiceModel.Primitives, Version=4.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

    The same works fine in Visual Studio (.NET Core Console App project).

    LINQPad 6.8.1.

  19. If I point LinqPad6 to a new My Queries (and Snippets and Plugins) folders, LinqPad5 is updated to the new folders as well. But I have years worth of queries with .Net Framework Dependencies and would like a clean My Queries structure for LinqPad6 with only .Net Core dependencies.

  20. I love that in the intellisense dropdown I can hit Ctrl+H to filter out the extension methods.

    It would be great if we could have an option to hide the boilerplate GetType() , GetHashCode(), ToString() and Equals(). These exist on every object, so they just pollute the drop down, without telling me anything new. Alternatively, they may be faded out, or something.

    The general problem of intellisense is that between inherited methods and extension methods, you drawn in a sea of dozens of intellisense entries. Somewhere in that haystack is the needle you are looking for. Most of us don't…
