I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

  2. Add support for calling CLR Stored Procedures that are already defined on a database

    Fairly self explanatory. If a CLR Stored Procedure is defined on a database, I should be able to call it from LinqPad. As of now, they don't show up in the tree and I can't call it directly.

  3. Add "Raw" view for OData responses

    When working with OData data services, it would be nice to have the option of viewing the raw HTTP responses (including headers and HTTP response codes)

  4. Append to querystring

    Great stuff, I'm using it to test a REST service - but it requires a querystring parameter for the apikey. It would be great to have a collection of querystring params that are appended to the url.

  5. Save samples to user specified folder

    In some Windows network environments local profiles sizes are sometimes restricted by group policies, meaning samples can't be download to the default Application Data folders. My Queries has a Set Folder... option. This would be useful for the Samples tab too.

  7. Allow Interop

    A simple window where Interop definitions can be pasted. These could then be referenced in the main window, methods could quickly be explored and tested.

  8. Working with large number of tabs open

    1. Bug: Open enough tabs to fill the tab bar, say 15 tabs, take the last one and drag and drop it to move it over, it will jump to the first page worth of tabs (say between 1st and 10th), so you can't move the 14th tab to be the 15th position.

    2. Using the scroll wheel on a mouse could move along the tab bar (as firefox does)

    3. Forward and Backward buttons on the mouse could step between active tabs (as Notepad++ does)

  9. Add new Language Type C# Auto

    It might be possible to parse the query contents looking for a Main Block or an ; separator to determine if the query is to be treated as C# Expression, C# Statements or C# Program? If so, this would have the advantage that would can highlight and execute statements that happen to be in a 'C# Program' query (rather than having to copy them to another query window).

  10. Add an option to set the default behavior for intellisense

    i.e. Always Show Full List (or press Ctrl+Space or Ctrl+H). Currently you MUST press those keys to get a full list. It would be nice to have an option to show the full list every time.

  11. Support plural table names => singular entity types

    When I have a "Customers" table, please support having "Customer" entities.

    At the moment, I have the "Customers"-table in the tree view with a "Customers" entity data type, which is bad.

  13. Add TableName.OrderByDescending( t => t.PrimaryKey).Take(50) when right click on the table

    I often times need to just view the newly created data recently. If this command can be added to the right click on the table menu will be excellent!

  14. Inline References and Namespace Imports

    Like this:

    reference @"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll";

    using SomeAssemblyNamespace;

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

    or maybe to remain true to the C# standard, use custom attributes:

    [reference(@"..\Lib\SomeAssembly.dll")]
    [using("SomeAssemblyNamespace")]

    ClassInSomeAssemblyNamespace.SomeStaticMethod();

  15. Expose SQL Connection TrustServerCertificate

    A common SQL Azure connection failure is when you are running behind a proxy/firewall. At my office I cannot connect to SQL Azure without turning on the trust server certificate setting in the connection string. Linqpad doesn't expose this right now.

    Exposing the ability to set the TrustServerCertificate=true in the ConnectionStringBuilder would allow this connection to succeed.

  17. Ctrl+E as synonym for F5

    Please could you add Ctrl+E as a shortcut for executing the query, this would be consistent with SSMS

  19. Intercept and echo calls to Debug.WriteLine or other trace calls.

    Adding a window that allows trace calls to be seen would aid in debugging drivers. These could be seen easily in LINQPad (perhap by enabling/disabling the visibility of these) when loading and testing a new driver or even allow such calls embedded in dynamically created source, to also log stuff - very hard to see otherwise.

  20. Cross database platform LINQ support

    LINQPad should be able to join results from two different database platforms in one Query.

    In our situation we would like to use it to join data stored in RavenDB with data stored in SQL Server. But I can imagine that there are many real life environments where one would like to join data in one database platform with data in another database platform
