  1. Add confirmation to closing more then query at a time

    Due to stress, evil mice and physical handicaps please add a confirmation box that verifies if the user wants to close more than one query, with option to shelve to a Shelve List and the ability to check not to be asked again for the very brave persons out there.

  3. Debug into scripts that are #load-ed

    It would be extremely useful to be able to debug into #load-ed scripts. I know they are scripts in themselves, and can be executed separately. But then maybe only allow this for .cs or .csx files?

  6. Integrate with a code snippet site like Pastie

    It would be nice to send a linqpad query window to something like http://pastie.org/ so that it is easy to request assistance from others.

  7. Disable Debug Messages Option

    When testing our application's objects via LP, our System.Diagnostic.Debug.WriteXXX messages are being captured in the Results window. Is there any way of disabling this feature in LP?

  8. Close the application to the system tray

    It would be handy if LINQPad closed to the system try so that it could be get around all the time. It's a great lightweight tool for trying out things.

  12. Add a link to the app in programs menu on install

    I was a little surpursed when i installed the app that it was not in the program list. Granted it is small and i typically use the autocomplete to find and launch apps but it does make me question future maintenance, uninstall and clean up issues.

  14. Submit examples to common scripting repository to download directly into LINQPad

    Allow users to submit scripts to a LINQPad online script repository and have ratings and view counts to sort by.

    Turn on "ambient intellisense" (ambient autocomplete) for extension methods not downloaded but provided on the Web. (Build and maintain index on client). And a magic key combo to automatically download that extension and any dependencies it has on other ambient code. Show reviews, ratings and view count in client.

  16. See generated Std Query Operators under lambda display

    Can be important to see the generated calls of Std Query Operators when designing new LINQ providers. Request clicking the lambda button next to "Results" to show this, as in
    from x in new int[] {1,2,3}
    select x * x

    new int[] {1,2,3}.Select(x=>x*x)

    This gets real important with the various SelectMany overloads, as in

    for a in new int[] {2,3}
    for b in new int[] {7, 11}
    select new int[] {a, b}

    does this gen code for

    IEn<B> SelectMany<A,B>(this IEn<A> as, Func<A, IEn<B>> f)

    or for

    IEn<B> SelectMany<A,B>(this IEn<A> as, Func<A, IEn<A>> f, Func<A, A, B>> g)

    ? Would love…

  17. allow LINQPad 4 .exe to be named LINQPad4.exe

    since LINQPad 4 is a .NET 4 version,
    imho,
    I'd like to name it LINQPad4.exe
    BUT it refuses to run.

  18. support POCO methods and properties in LINQ to Entities

    Currently I get the following exception when accessing POCO methods and properties.
    NotSupportedException: The specified type member 'Language' is not supported in LINQ to Entities. Only initializers, entity members, and entity navigation properties are supported.

  19. Results Table

    It would be very useful to have the option to put query results in a grid with sortable columns etc. instead of just HTML.

  20. Provide connection context menu option to close the selected connection

    In addition to closing an established connection it should also cancel a connection that in the process of being established.
