  1. Extension for bulk update/delete/insert queries

    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!
    Thanks

  3. provide support for mongo db query

    i wanted to use linq over a mongo db database but i couldn't find any driver, i found one in codeplex which didn't work as suggested and it wasn't official. It would be really great if a official driver for mongo query is provided as a free feature

  5. Show rows affected

    If I issue an UPDATE (etc.) in SQL in SQL Server Management Studio, it will give me "(1 row(s) affected)". Neither LINQPad (in SQL mode) or Query Express will do this. Could you please add this?

  6. Open up the Language Infrastructure

    There are so many requests for adding language x or language y. I started two of them requesting support for IronRuby/ IronPython
    http://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/359780-ironpython-ironruby-support-would-be-nice-

    and Boo http://linqpad.uservoice.com/forums/18302-linqpad-feature-suggestions/suggestions/359783-boo-support-would-be-nice

    There are request for hosting Powershell, adding Delphi/Prism.

    Why not add IronJS, Phalanger (for PHP), Nemerle, IronScheme or any other language.

    How about switching the editor to the AvalonEdit of SharpDevelop for creating your own syntax highlighting and Code Completion.

  7. Add the Expression Tree Visualizer

    The Expression Tree Visualizer is a fantastic tool to shed some light on exactly what happens when an expression tree is invoked. It's especially useful when building your own from scratch, and some visibility on how LINQ does it would be a real bonus!

    under review  ·  AdminJoe Albahari (LINQPad) (CEO / Founder, LINQPad) responded

    Are you aware that you can call .Dump() on an expression? The output is not exactly the same as the Expression Tree Visualizer, but it conveys much of the same information. Is there anything missing from what you see that you’d like added? Or anything that you’d like changed?

  8. Add "Export To Visual Studio" to generate a solution and project based on the LINQPad script

    LINQPad is awesome for quick scripts, but sometimes they grow to the point that you just have to promote them to a full-blown Visual Studio project. It would be awesome to have a feature to be able to do a "Save As Solution", which would generate a Visual Studio compatible Solution and Project, and move your code into a new class as well as providing a generated DataContext.

  9. Provide a means to change the target framework (e.g., the .NET Micro Framework, etc.)

    I don't know if this is feasible, but it would make LINQPad orders of magnitude more useful to those of us working in multiple target platforms.

  12. Debug into external libraries

    Single-step through the source code of libraries that a LINQPad query references. This would require the .pdb files and source code to be available on the local machine.

  13. Immediate window in LinqPad

  14. c++

    Add c++ as one of the available languages. Perhaps this lies outside of the intended scope of LINQPad, but a lot of people use it as a snippet compiler, I know I do..

  16. my extension folder instead of a single query file.

    My "my extension" is so bloated now. It has so many classes and methods now. I would like to separate them to individual files (class level) and store them in a specific folder ("My Extensions" folder?) and then all the classes and method will appear in all other queries.....

    On a larger level, this brings the concept of projects (or solution). Perhaps we can extend this idea to have a folders marked as a projects, so when running queries this will build all the queries in that folder to same assembly so that it is possible to call methods from…

  17. Run scripts thru command line (LPRun) on Linux and MacOS

    Maybe lprun.exe can be more easily adapted to run cross-platform than the full GUI app. It would be fantastic to just be able to run scripts via Mono.

  19. Create a portable version of the license

  20. support XSLT

    It would be very nice if there was the single snippet IDE for LINQ, SQL and XSLT. Architag XRay XML Editor is good for XSLT, but just not as good (ergonomic) as LINQPad is for LINQ.
