Autoscroll code when it is running to make sure currently executing statement is visible in the code editor
The arrow pointing to a currently executing line in the code editor is very helpful as a quick-and-dirty debugging/profiling tool. However, when working with code that is several pages long, the arrow often disappears from view and can be hard to find. An option to always keep the currently executing line visible in the code editor would be really helpful.

Support for XML Summary message when IntelliSence shows which overload to use
When typing out the method call I would like to be able to see the different overload methods and their XML summary. Currently we are able to see the overload's for the call and what the summary of the parameters of that call but not the summary of the actual overload.
After I have finished the call I am able to hover over the call and see but it would be nice to see the summary while I type.

Support for temporary databases (SQL Server / SQlite)
When testing out SQL scripts, it would be nice if LINQPad could create a temporary database for me, and drop it after execution. For instance, if I pick the SQLite database provider, a new SQLite file would just be created in the temp folder on the machine, my SQL executed against it, and the file deleted (or simply left for normal cleanup).
This would work wonders for experimentation for things like Stack Overflow answers and similar, since I then normally want to start from scratch and include all tables and data in the script itself, rather than work with an…

Clicking "add connection" needs a SQL Server option
Click "add connection" there are 3 options "linq to sql", "WCF..." and "MS Datamarket...". None of these allow me to connect to SQL Server. Nothing in "view more drivers" looks like SQL Server either. My friend got it to work after a lot of time & effort, but doesn't remember how he did it. SQL Server is very popular. It should be easy to connect to it.

Set primary key
Linqpad cannot insert into tables with no primary key defined in the database. For instance, I have a table with an auto-incrementing identity column. In visual studio I can insert into this table simply by defining the identity column as primary key with auto-sync false in the dbml or editing the edmx xml by hand.

Add additional database option in menus
I feel like the 'easy' way to add additional databases to a query is way too cryptic: holding down Ctrl while dragging the additional db to the query.
There should be a menu option when right-clicking a database in the connections pane, or in the Query menu. Just somewhere where you can discover it intuitively, in stead of having to check the FAQ.1 vote -
easier Date/Time data entry in grid
Our database has an audit field:
[ActionDateUtc] DATETIMEOFFSET NOT NULL CONSTRAINT DEFAULT (SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()),
When I click "Add Row", this field is defaulted blank rather than null, and annoying since the only way to enter a date at this point is to manually key it in.
Save fails due to SQL overflow, and since save happens when you move off the record, it's not easy to copy/paste an existing one.
Ideally it would be fantastic if LINQPad would recognize that the value will be supplied by the DB, failing that a right click menu to enter 'now' or 'utc now' would…

Dump of enumeration of inherited objects should display actual classes
If I have an enumeration of nodes that can be of type text/html/custom I get the class specific properties in their own columns but there is not indication on the actual class of each line.
When debugging or investigating deep class hierarchies knowing the exact class each line was would be very helpful.
Now one have to determine this through the properties which is not always easy, especially with library code that you have no internal knowledge of.

show current connection database name for ef db context
When working with curom assembly and connection string coming from config it's not clear which database and server working with as name of the connection will be name of the db contesxt in particular assembly.
It would be really useful to find out which server and database names and also allow different color code base on the name of database or server to distinguish between dev/test/prod.

Show username in title bar when impersonating (RUNAS)
I often have multiple LINQPad windows open under different credentials, required for operations against remote servers, but I loose track of which is which. I'd be handy for me to show the username in the title bar (perhaps only if impersonating via RUNAS)

Ability to turn off the automatic query-finder in My Queries when you switch tabs
When I switch tabs, I don't want the Query-tree to update to find the query I'm currently editing. When you have lots of folders it gets rather irritating after a while.

Dump() method. Show type of empty arrays.
Normally Dump() will show the type and length of an array, as well as it's contents. However, empty arrays are shown as "(0 items)", it would be good too see that the object is indeed an array of a specific type.
So e.g. if I do:
====
var fields = "".Split(',')fields.Dump();
We see:
String[] (0 items)

Support disabling code folding
Code folding is neat and all, but to some users it is just an annoyance. Please allow us to disable it.

Let the autogenerated DataContext table classes use properties, not fields
When using Visual Studio to generate a DataContext, the table classes use properties for the columns. When LINQPad does it, it uses fields, not properties. This is bad, because it creates a (too) subtle difference between the 2 tools. Code that works in one, may not work in the other.

Provide Recently Used list for Find and Replace text
I would love to see the the "Find what" and "Replace with" text boxes turned into combo boxes that drop down to show recently used values. It would be particularly helpful when performing non-trivial regex searches.

When dragging column name from connection box into a SQL statement, don't highlight it. just put the cursor at the end + 1 space.
