Dump if predicate is true

Make code snippets consistent with Visual Studio

For example C# 'prop' snippet

Visual Studio:

public int MyProperty { get; set; }

LINQPad:

public object Foo { get; set; }

int or object is discussable but MyProperty is so much more recognizable than Foo.
For consistency just stick with Visual Studio definitions (which means int here).

Using different content for the snippets is confusing when accustomed to Visual Studio.

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).

Is it possible to localize the application (French, German, Spanish).

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.

Since a SelectBox can have multiple selections, it would be useful to have a constructor overload which takes in a List<int> to specify multiple SelectedIndexes.

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.

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

It would be great to be able to package up custom DbContext assemblies and app.configs (e.g. dev, uat, prod) in a NuGet package then reference the package from the "Add Connection" dialog.

Add a helper to the editor so that when /// is typed on the line before a property or method, the summary and param blocks are added similar to how it works in Visual Studio per this article:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/generate-xml-documentation-comments?view=vs-2017

OR

Enable intellisense for /// < to template the common options:

/// <summary
/// <param
/// <returns
/// <see

When dumping an IEnumerable<T> source, LINQPad also displays the count of items or count of initial items if the number of items exceeds a defined limit. It would be nice to a count (updated live while subscribed) when IObservable<T> sources are dumped.

The ability to search the documentation via google by pressing the F1 key is great, however the order of the terms is a bit different than titles in the MSDN docs.

For example, pressing F1 on the someType.Namespace queries the google for:

System Type.Namespace property

which doesn't yield expected results, however:

Type.Namespace property System

does. Should take less time to fix than it took me to write this :)

Display the cursor line and column in window footer like VS, PowerShell ISE, SQL Developer, Notepad++ and other applications

It should be useful to rename the method to Util.SaveData and add a description to better explain what is the saved value, not only the key.

And add an overload to save data linked with a LINQPad user to allow to have different values for the same key to export and import the passwords to other machines across the team.

I've created a script to export/import the password using an encrypted .ZIP file.

Thank you!

allow for relative reference to a config file.... something like.....

[QueryPath]\app.config

and/or

currently if no path info is supplied (just file name) the LP app assumes the file location to be the folder of LP.... maybe look in query path folder first?

This would allow for more portability of scripts... might be able to just package up the folder... relative references will allow things to run on the other end without having to make path tweaks.

When you use Open in Excel on a grid, the Excel (html) file that is opened is named after the query name, but should be named after the Grid title from the Dump command that created the Grid, if one exists.

I often connect to databases individually on a Production server because of the way our security works. These connections are temporary and transient for security reasons.
Rather than marking a connection as Production each time it would be helpful if I could configure the server as a Production server and then each time I connect to an individual database it is automatically marked as Production.
Thanks!

With SQL Azure in general and now specifically with the new serverless option it would be great to be able to enable the various ADO.NET and EF Core resiliency options so that you do not get a timeout on startup or when there is a transient failure. Both are just settings for number of times to retry, the retry interval, etc.

For EF Core with SQL you can use something like

        optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(cstr,

        sqlServerOptionsAction: sqlOptions =>

        {

            sqlOptions.EnableRetryOnFailure(

            maxRetryCount: 18,

            maxRetryDelay: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5),

            errorNumbersToAdd: null);

        })

In ADO.NET you can do it in the connection string parameters

ConnectRetryCount=18;ConnectRetryInterval=5;Timeout=90

Thank you

There are a few assemblies I often use in LinqPad queries, that are not in the GAC or on Nuget. Every time, I have to browse to their location to find them (e.g. Windows.winmd to use WinRT APIs). It would be nice if there was a "recently used" list in the "Additional references" tab
