  1. I have a program that needs to parse a local XML file on the filesystem. It seems LINQPad doesnt like it when I try to add a local file reference as my source. It whines "Expected an absolute, well formed http URL without a query or fragment.
    Parameter name: serviceRoot"

  2. i.e., similar to Visual Studio. I'm frequently modifying several tabs at the same time. It gets tedious having to click on each in turn and then saving individually.

  3. The word wrapping really makes it a problem to surf the grid. I think your idea of the grid is absolutely excellent. I just wish you used WPF instead of HTML table to render the result set. Also removing columns from grid after the result appeared. Allow us to lock columns when scrolling horizontally. Group columns from result set.

  6. Add ability to right click on an unknown type and click Resolve similiar to Visual Studio. You have the feature now, but only way to do it is to hover over the little contextual help 'thing' and select the namespace.

  7. On keyboards without a back-tick key usable without any modifier key (alt, alt-gr), to select multiple columns you have to key-in <Alt>+<9><6>, which would already be pretty bad but actually gets worst on laptops without numerical keypads (a lot of them!): I have to key-in: <Fn>+<NumLock>,<Alt>+<9>,<6> for every column I want to select.

    I own the premium edition, and don't use it because of this...

  8. In the Add Connection dialog is a 'Delete Driver' feature, I sugges you add a 'Refresh Driver' to that simply deletes the driver and reloads it again from the same place.

  9. This capability would cause an exception to be thrown by a driver when it gets a serious error preventing executuion. A outer catch could cartch these and write them to a driver test output window along with stack data.
    In addition when running LINQPad under debug the debugger could be configured to break when an exception is thrown - although there is limited src available - this would still allow a developer to see stack traces etc and gain insights into what might be wrong.
    When this new feature is disabled LINQPad would behave as it does now.

  10. Allowing a driver to be named .zip would simplify testing and debugging of new drivers. LINQPad could allow this but warn the user when the driver is added "Warning driver should be named .lpx please contact driver vendor to get this resolved" or something. This will really ease the fiddling around at dev/debug stage.

  11. Currently, it is very hard to find references on the "Additional References" and "Additional Namespace Imports" tabs when in the Query Properties window. This is harder when using LINQPad with enterprise applications that require a lot of references and using statements.

    keep up the good work!

  12. The new Cache() extension is absolutely great feature. One caveat though is that it is not parameters sensitive and it might be misleading in some cases.

    A very simplified example:

    int userID = 7;
    Users.Where(u => u.UserID == userID).Cache().FirstOrDefault().Dump();

    When I run it - I get the expected user entity.

    Now, if I change userID to 8, and I forgot I used Cache(), I will still get the user with ID 7, and I might execute a wrong logic.

    To handle that - I use Cache(string) method with key which is combined by the relevant parameters for that query.

    Anyway…

  16. I would find it helpful if I could control the date formatting. For me and my companies data, I'm usually only concerned with the date not the time. The time tends to fill up the columns. Can we get some way to control how dates are outputted?

  18. It would be nice if hovering over the menu titles caused the menus to dropdown and show the items, rather than requiring a click action on the menu titles.

  19. The yellow bar at the top shows the current exception but if you have a very long linqpad script you need to scroll down to see where the error happened. It would be nice to be able to click the yellow bar to jump down to the exception.
