transpose output - same way as when using First() but for more rows
I have some tables with lot of columns, but only several rows, it would be nice to transpose the output to have SQL table column names on the left and SQL records (rows) in columns
Such transformation should be used, when some collection returns only one record (in nested table - Navigation property)6 votes -
Show correct line-numbers in stack-traces
The line-numbers in a strack-trace counts from the top of the produced .cs file. This includes the using-statements, and first few lines of the UserQuery class definition. The user has no way of knowing how many such lines there are, so the line-numbers would be almost useless.
To remedy this, LINQPad could add #line-directives
#line 1 "UserQuery" // Just before the user-code #line default // Just after the user-code.Manually adding #line-directives results in the exception-indicators being placed on wrong lines, but the stack-traces are more useful.

I commonly use the full screen option in VS and getting rid of all the superfluous toolbars/menus/tabs/ etc would be helpful

Use the local Plugins folder for My Extensions even if the machine has a configuration for it
In the settings of the normal LINQPad instant I run, I have set up special folder for queries, plugins, and snippets, in order to synchronize them using Dropbox.
However, I also use LINQPad on the build machine, so I have checked in a copy of LINQPad with its own local Queries folder.
If I create a local Plugins folder, and then try to use the "My Extensions" script in LINQPad, when running the build machine LINQPad instance (still on my own machine though), it still uses the global settings for picking up My Extensions.
I'd like to have a local…

Open F# script (.fsx) files
Open F# script (.fsx) files in LINQPad and recognize them as F# programs. Same as recognizing ".sql" files.

Add Util.ToDelimitedString() and Util.WriteDelimitedFile()
This would be similar to Util.ToCsvString() and Util.WriteCsv(), but would accept any delimiter.

Allow playing a sound (or flashing the window or whatever) when a long-running query completes
I often have to run scripts that take a lengthy amount of time (between 3 and 30 minutes, and it's not known ahead of time exactly how long it'll take). Currently I have to remember to keep checking back to see if it's finished yet as I switch over to another app to work on something else.
It would be much more useful to switch that 'polling' to 'interrupt-driven'. :) Specifically, I'd love to be able to set an option similar to "if a query runs longer than X seconds (X = 30 would be what I set it for,…

Special insert datetime.now
Just as I use alt + g daily to insert a Guid, I miss a shortcut to make a datetime.now when inserting data.

add grouping to result view
It would be great to be able to group results into a tree view by dragging columns to a grouping pane (just like in Qutlook).
For investigating data grouping is one of the most powerful tools.
So if you have a result with columns col1, col2, col3 you would drag e.g. col1 to the grouping pane and then see a list of distinct values of col1. Each value is a tree node. Once you expand the tree node you will see the result items belong to that value of col1. Certainly nested grouping (col1+col2) should be supported as well :-)…6 votes -
Filter Dump output using lambda or name list
I often use LinqPad and dump to explore existing data structures that I need to extract data from or reformat.
Many times these structures contain many irrelevant properties and children.
I have often wished for a way to eliminate these from the displayed tree to make the output more readable.
For example, in a parser tree there is often positional information and also many times the original source for the current element.
This takes very much space in the output making it very hard to follow.
If I could supply dump with a lambda that accepted the property name and…

MyExtensions folder (multiple queries). Alternatively: support query to query reference.
LINQPad is growing within my organization.Domain experts are becoming seasoned programmers. However, several projects have started getting very large communal "MyExtensions". This is facing the normal problem of readability, volatility/stability, concurrent work and versioning. It is also an opportunity lost to teach good separation of concerns.
It would be very helpful (and educational) if MyExtensions could be separated into several files, each of which would be "C# program" and concatenated (minus the main() method) in the pre-build step.
Alternatively, it would be even better if a query could reference another query in the same fashion that all queries now refers…

Allow to set some lines to use Util.Cache
Util.Cache is very useful when iteratively running the same code, but switching back and forth between
var x = somecalculation
and
var x = Util.Cache(() => somecalculation,"x")
can be a bitt painfulIt would be nice if one could set a given line to be "expensive", so that it appears as a simple line in LinqPad, but behind the scenes, that line is using Util.Cache.
Alternatively, some directive could be put on that line as a comment by the user, to achieve the same result.
The implementation should not be too tricky, just some regex to apply before compilation.

Provide a C# REPL mode
The idea is that there would be a mode where it is easy to execute single lines or blocks of codes, and all the variables from the main scope would automatically be available in subsequent runs.
The implementation is probably far from trivial, but one naive idea is to identify where variables are initialized and set, and have that mirrored as Get/SetData in the appdomain before compilation.
So for instance, if I have the following lines
var x = 1;
var y = x + 1;Then running the first line would execute something like this
var x = 1;…

DumpLatest - highligh differences after dump refresh.
Add to DumpLatest option similar to what 'watch' command does with flag '--differences'.
This would allow nice&easy visual monitoring of changes in any data.
I use for example code like this to visually monitor changes in DB:
Observable.Interval( System.TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2) )
.Select(x => this.GetSomeDBTable )
.DumpLatest();Having any changes in dump output highlighted with for example yellow background would be nice.

Add more code formatting options to LINQPad 5
It's great we can control where braces go (on their own lines of course), but needs option for spaces inside non-empty parentheses etc. Auto-formatting is awesome (and I don't want to turn it off), but removing my spaces is just rude :)

Add "Cancel All Threads and Reset" to query toolbar
Consider adding another toolbar item for the Cancel All Threads and Reset (Ctrl+Shift+F5) menu option to the query toolbar. Hidden in the menu, it wasn't obvious that this existed, or what it was for. I've been closing LinqPad and re-launching regularly because I didn't realize this option existed.
User error? Yes. But a toolbar button would be helpful for others like me.

I need larger fonts everywhere. I do not believe that LinqPad conforms to the usability requirements of ISO 9241 for ergonomic requirements.
The editor font can be changed, but that is not good enough. Not everybody needs larger fonts but everybody will need them eventually. I have a forty dollar editor that lets me change the font everywhere, including the tree controls and menus (which is why I use it). Surely you have the chops to match a text editor. I just cannot keep this upgrade unless I can read the screen without a headache.
