Export and import preferences and connections

I use LINQPad on three different computers. It would be very helpful to be able to export the preferences and connections from one so they can be imported into another instance.

    placing just the connections at a shared location would also be convenient for use by teams.

    Simply open Windows Explorer, type
    %AppData%\LinqPad
    into the path combobox and it will take you to the settings directory.

    ConnectionsV2.xml and RoamingUserOptions.xml can be edited with a text editor like
    Notepad++, and since XML is an open standard it is easy to read and maintain.

    Copy the files to the target PC, note that the account name can be different, since
    %AppData%\LinqPad
    resolves to
    C:\Users\[accountName]\AppData\Roaming\LINQPad\

    I would include the "Additional References" and "Additional Namespace Imports" items along with the preferences and connections when exporting.

    You can however just copy them across from one computer to the other:

    They are usually found in a location similar to (on Windows 7):
    C:\Users\[accountName]\AppData\Roaming\LINQPad\ConnectionsV2.xml
