  2. Since VB is case-insensitive, all its keywords can be lowercase without affecting compilation. In Linqpad4, I use to type all my VB code in lowercase (it's somehow much more readable). Now with LP5, I get code completion and other nice stuff, but all my nice lowercase code gets put back in normal VB style. If it's not too much work, a "Lowercase VB keywords" option would be great.

  4. When I query and get Data Grid results back, the columns always come out fairly narrow. I have to then click on each column to read it. The Data Grid controller allows you to expand all columns so that all data is visible in each. This would be helpful to have

  5. I've never yet wanted to export my results to my queries directory (or whereever it defaults to now). I don't get the current behaviour ... do people actually want this ?

  6. Keep results window exclusive to each tab so that various tab results can be compared or referenced when needed. Let's say I want to see the results of a query as a reference to other query I'm working on another tab, the result window goes blank as it is linked to the current query which is blank since not executed yet. But I still want to see the previous query results that I detached earlier.

    May be an option to PIN/LOCK the results window to the query tab exclusively so that other tab's execution results will create a new results…

  7. Not sure how viable this is, but I spent all day today trying to find the source of an assembly collision that prevented some code compiling in Linqpad, only to find that the stray version originated from Linqpad itself!

    If possible, I suggest you avoid injecting Devart.Data / Devart.Data.Oracle assemblies into the query app domain if later versions of those assemblies are already being (directly) referenced by the query. Otherwise you create assembly binding issues for the compiler.

    Failing that, Linqpad.config should probably have some binding redirects for DevArt.Data / DevArt.Data.Oracle

    (Linqpad 4.55 references DevArt.Data.Oracle 7.9.333.0, my query references assemblies…

  8. We use lprun with teamcitry to generate various statistics and post them to our wiki every week. However today it is not possible to execute these scripts with lprun, without first manually enter the credentials on the particular machine first.

    Lprun should be able to execute remotely, without having to manually configure it on every machine. A really simple way, would be to let users disable encryption of the password. Another possibility, is to let users specify a certificate to use for encryption.

  9. Allow for using a cached schema rather than refresh each time a query is opened. I often run the same query to generate a report each morning. It takes longer for the schema (which is unchanged) to load than it does for the query to execute. It would be a nice option to save this schema information locally and refresh on command to account for any changes.

  11. Using grid view, the column widths are currently set for the minimum to handle the header text, often visually truncating cell values even if there is unused width available in the grid UI.

    If nothing else, divide the available space by the available columns to compute a minimum initial column width. Even better would be if it takes the retrieved values into account and make narrow valued columns narrower.

  12. Ability to right click on the results area to do a screen capture (image) of the result(s) to be taken and sent to a predefined image hosting site.

    Then provide access the image URL in the clipboard in either raw html or in StackOverflow format.

  13. Simpley allow the usr to rename the grids, or perhaps to provide a comment in the sql to name the results grid for each query when doing multiple queries.

  15. Paste as a comment block

    Just like the paste as escaped string is great, i think paste as comment block would be just as useful.

  16. Display the count of EntitySet fields in the parent grid row, so that you don't have to click on them to see if they have any list members:

    e.g.: | 1 | ivoice203 | CustName | InvoiceLineItemList (5) | 11/1/15 |

  17. Intellisense does not working on big queries. I've an query with about 6.000 lines of code and intellisense does not working inside. On other (smaller) queries intellisense works fine. Using LP v5-03-03 beta Any CPU.

  18. It would be nice that there will be menu command (for example F6 would be shortcut) for compile only (compile query without run).

  19. I use the bell character for debugging as an audio watch signal (set some logical condition that returns the bell when true or place a bell character in a subroutine to see if it runs). Please add the 0x0007 code to the escape codes LinqPad recognizes.

    This code is silent in LinqPad but rings the bell in VS:
    Console.WriteLine("\a");

  20. I find this feature very convenient in Powershell. it would just mean not having to select the line before executing it.
