  1. When I try to render some HTML that I get back from an FtpWebRequest call, dumping it to Util.RawHtml() gets me back a serif font output... the HTML actually has <pre> tagged content which should be monospaced, if I'm correct about how that gets rendered. When I run the same request via IE, I get exactly what I want.

  3. If pulling a nuget package into a query, Linqpad seems to use -DependencyVersion Lowest. This works fine, if the package dependencies are maintained properly, but often it fails.

    If the public interface of the referenced package changes, but the package dependencies are not adjusted after an update, the package cannot be loaded in Linqpad.

    An example is the Splat dependency of the ReactuveUi package.

    It would be great to be able to set the DependencyVersion or update the referenced dlls.

  4. Simulate more Win Explorer-like behavior in the My Queries pane with respect to folder shortcuts. If I add a shortcut to another folder location in the folder designated for my queries... I can click that folder shortcut to navigate to the folder containing to those queries. This would probably also necessitate some navigation buttons for the pane (back/forward).

    Now.. you may ask why not just store all my queries under a single folder. I am sure there are many reasons why one might wish to store their queries in various locations... but my main reason is that I keep some…

  5. In support of Tabs, it would be useful to have a treeview of queries, not saved ones but current ones, the current tab version is successful only to a point. I regularly have about 30 tabs up in a sequence of tests I run.
    Also the ability to name the queries in Tab view (but not save) would be a powerful thing.

  6. I make many query then allow end user to use making report.
    I would like to hide script box to end user.
    End user just select script and run to see result.

    Also, I need to Load Win Form or WPF to replace same position of script box that let user select condition for query.

  7. I have two different solutions but with the same assembly name but different projects. One is a upgrade of the other. When i add another assembly if it is of the same name, it overwrites one that is already existent, even if their paths in explorer is different.

  8. The following code dumps the initial state of the IObservable<Int64>, but does not refresh it as new elements are added:

    var i = Observable.Interval(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
    var w = i.Window(10);
    w.DumpLatest();

    As a workaround, adding the following line of code seems to fix the problem:

    w.Subscribe(wi => wi.DumpLatest());

  9. In SharpDevelop there is a useful tool which allows you to load a VB class and then convert it into C# (via Tools -> Convert Code to ...).

    It currently supports source code conversions between VB.NET and C# (and vice versa).

    Since SharpDevelop is Open Source, maybe it is not too difficult to add this feature to SharpDevelop?

  11. When running a query against an EntityFramework Typed DataContext connection, and the assembly folder path has a comma in it, linqpad shows System.IO.FileLoadException "The given assembly name or codebase was invalid". The context connection and tables show correctly on the left, but queries fail to execute.

  13. Start LINQPad, click Add connection

    Actual result:
    - useful drivers (LPX files) are listed.

    Exepected result:
    - include more drivers, eg
    https://github.com/dylanmei/linqpad-soap-driver

    Ideally, this would be more of a nuget style listing.

  14. The posibility to define a .linq file as a "Template" (Readonly) would be nice. This would disable the script and would only be able to "Use as Template For A New Query". Another icon for the templates would be nice to.

  15. To fix "Error 2714" when running the "But I don't have NORTHWND!" Sample query, replace the text "Add connection" with 'Add connection' in the comment-section of that query (ie. Replace the double quotes with single quotes).

  16. now when a compiler occured, you got nothing in the screen.
    no results, no syntax tree, only error info.
    there are three kind of compiler error, lexer error, grammar error, semantic error.
    if the error is semantic error, the syntax tree must have been generated, so i wish it could be shown in the screen.

    or in a nutshell, show me the syntax tree when it is possible.

    i want this feature for debugging compiler. XD

  17. The very left column (for selecting rows) should be a rownumberer column. Showing the index number of that row. Handy if you are sorting by a particular column and then want to quickly see how many are in each group.

  18. I usualy work by batches... at one client I use thoses queries, while at this other one, I use a different set...

    And I have like 10-20 queries open, in a specific work context...

    Context switching is a bit of a nightmare....

    If only I had a button to save not the files themselves, but the specific work context, I could just reopen a previous context and off I'm gone...

  19. Right now we have some linqpad scripts that use 1.7.1 of NEST Elasticsearch and some using 2.4.5. But we can not share those/use them on the same machine since there is only one 'NEST' directory under Linqpad\Nuget, right?

    Not sure how this would be handled since you want to upgrade etc, but maybe the diretory should contain the version number in it? Then you could in theory have 2 versions downloaded.

  20. Have the possibility to create a SQL view from the result of a dump() !
    Linq is create to quickly extract complex data. If after you have just to click a button to save this in database it will very useful.
