In the Add Connection pane, one should be able to add a connection which allows you to browse to an Xml File (or any file that has an Xml File structure even) and thereby be able to use Linq to Xml to query from that Xml File.

Install Notepad++ -> Create a New File -> Close Notepad -> No Annoying Save File Dialogs -> Re-open Notepadd++ -> Files are Still there

Many use cases.

Keeps my flow going if you will

A few issues with a modal dialog:

1. If one wishes to undo a replace operation they must close the dialog, undo, then reopen it.




2. If the user has the cursor in an undesirable position for starting a search, they must close the dialog, correct it, then reopen.

In the results panel, it would be useful to display the number of records returned by the query.

It is very annoying to have to reposition the query/results splitter for every new query. Can you make it persist to wherever it was last positioned?

Right within LINQPad, enable 1. Azure login; 2. Connect/browse Azure Queues and DocumentDB; and 3. Author Azure Function CSX scripts, test, publish, and repeat.

When dumping images to the output window, sometimes it would be nice to specify the maximum display size for the image, so that a large image doesn't fill up the entire results window causing much scrolling to get to anything below.

It would be useful if the results pane could be detatched into a separate window for easier viewing.

Since LINQPad now supports Programs as well Statements, the ability to make the most of screen real estate becomes more pertinent.

SQL auto completion

If a special file in the same folder as the opened .linq-file exists (for example "_Extensions.linq"), it should be loaded and executed before the query executes. Extension: Search the parent directories too for this file.

This great product offers support for so many database types, but the major one lacking is IBM DB2. You can do this through EF, but you will not be able to see the SQL that your linq queries generate.

I would like the to be able to see triggers that are on tables. In the same way that I can look at the definitions of SPs and functions.

I use LinqPad for deployment scripts, and it would be really useful to be able to write error messages to the console in Red. Currently ForegroundColor does not work.

Sometimes when cleaning up, adding and editing data by hand, there can be an advantage in copying the cells from a query to excel.

When you're done editing, it would be nice to be able to paste the data back in, in the edit mode.

This is possible in Sql Server Management Studio

It would be great if there was an option for each NuGet package in the LinqPad NuGet manager that allows you to set a package to auto update when a new version of the package is released.

We connect LinqPad to internal NuGet packages and the consumers of these packages should always be up to date with the latest versions of our internal packages.

When querying a table with a large number of columns, navigation properties are not appended to the table.

In particular, Table A I'm querying has 41 columns and does not produce the navigation properties.

Table B with 29 columns does produce the navigation properties.

We have a 1:Many (one table B for many table A). The link from TableB -> TableA does show, and it's not an issue with foreign keys, I suspect it's a hard limit we've crossed excluding the properties from generating

I'd like to see the dump for a DateTime be more like a normal object rather than a string format. It's easy enough to to .ToString(format) if I want to see the format, but right now there's not a nice way to see the object properties.
