  1. It would be great if LinqPad would support scriptcs or Roslyn since it already has NuGet support. Another option would be to export the .linq project as scriptcs project.

  2. Reporting made easy...just write linq scripts and ship them with your app with the linqpad user control embedded in the app too. :)

    I would prefer it in WPF but would settle for winforms.

  3. I want to send a link to my team and have them test drive premium for a few days. If they like it, we want to buy a bunch of licenses. A trial offer that lets us use it in real development for a few days is critical.

  4. I'd like to see a feature which allows users to create a 'query template' which can be used as a starting point for any new query .

    A query template would have preset properties, references/usings, database connections, code, etc. and users can create as many templates as they like.

    This is not much unlike using a saved query, but the difference is that users are not be making changes to the original when they create a new query from a template.

  5. Hi,

    would be great if you could use Visual Studio Code as editor (IDE)

  7. As a developer I often have to rearrange code lines. Therefore it would be a useful feature to be able to move the current line / currently selected lines up/down, the same way as it is possible in Visual Studio or Notepad++.

  8. I mean, come on... this is a brilliant idea! The beauty and power of VSCode, plus the beauty and power of LINQPad?

    LINQPad could inherit the editor features of VSCode and output its results in a separate pane.

    BANANAS!

  10. Related to: http://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/513533-add-support-for-internalsvisibleto

    Exposing the internal to Linqpad is a great idea, it would be nice if this work for signed assembies too.

    For now the 'LINQPadQuery' is unsigned (PublicKeyToken=null).

    LINQpad itself is signed, but this key is not used when signing LINQPadQuery.

  11. We do it now through a secondary dll and machine.config for configuration. Would prefer to reference the service directly. This would also include the ability to use configuration files.

  12. I'd created an idea for LINQPad to offer a REPL experience already (since I can't use language features like LINQ comprehension syntax or the like from PowerShell scripts), but now that Roslyn CTP is out and csx / C# script is alive, I'm hoping that the effort required would be much lower in LINQPad to offer a REPL. If it only works when Roslyn is installed, then that's fine with me, and it helps bridge the functionality gap for those of us that love LINQPad but want to use it as a REPL so we can keep results/objects/graphs in memory…

  13. An Oracle user may have access to multiple schemas with table definitions. It would be nice to specify the schema in the query.

    E.G. I have a user that can see two schemas ,users and customers. Currently I have to specify the schema I want to use when setting up the connection. So, I can only query one schema per session. It would be great if I could do something like the following:

    var customers = from c in customers.sometable
    select c;
    var users = from u in users.sometable
    select u;
    ...
    in a single session

  14. I want to create a JSON file for use as part of a simple web prototyping exercise. LinqPAD is perfect for accessing the data from my DB in just the shape I need, however I cannot get it out as JSON very easily.

    I don't really care what the schema is, because I can adapt my JavaScript to work with whatever is returned.

  15. I have been playing with scriptcs and csx files. It would be awesome if LinqPad could edit and debug csx files just like linq ones. With Roslyn being the future, seems like it would be an important feature for LinqPad (which is awesome!! by the way)

  16. I am using Linqpad in diffrent machines. Was wondering is there anyway to sync "My Queries" through some service. Or may be we can use SkyDrive/Azure/Amazon kind of thing?

  17. R/Python/F# all have REPL environments that allow creation of live scripted Jupyter notebooks.

    LinqPad has the ability to become this for the .Net world.

    Some features that would allow this:

    Xamarin has a concept of workbooks already

    https://developer.xamarin.com/guides/cross-platform/workbooks/install/

    TensorFlow demo example for this notebook here

    https://github.com/larcai/cognibooks/tree/master/tensorflow

    Leverage LinqPads scripting environment to be the .Net Data Science Notebook of the future!

  19. One of the most missing features in linq. Allowing to bulk update/delete/insert rows (maybe as an extension lib like PredicateBuilder) would be absolutely awsome!

  20. Visual Studio has this. It would be lovely to have the same key combinations achieve the same effect across different programs. Hardwired shortcuts are a bit provincial, and problematic for aging neurons.
