  1. In IL plz show Method signatures and return types

    Current if there are overloads of methods, we cannot distinguish them from IL. Please learn from other tools e.g. ILSPY and show method signatures (parameter types) and return types.

  3. gui

    Integrated GUI builder

    If we had a GUI designer for win-forms (or similar) then small applications could be built. Things like combo-boxes, buttons, and standard controls with event handlers would be great.

  4. Save a query as a '.cs. file with the Main() and using statements present.

    Add to the File Save As menu with an option to save a query as a '.cs. file with the Main() and using statements automatically inserted. This could otherwise be implemented as some king of Export functionality.

  5. pad numbers for better visual presentation

    It would help tremendously for the visual presentation of numbers, if numbers had their decimal place in the same visual column.

    eg: PadRight with zeroes until all numbers have the same number of decimals

    i know that such procedure is kind of tricky to do, because you need to look at all numbers in a grid before showing it.

    but i think the performance-hit is worth the extra render calculation.

  10. Horizontal scrolling on results

    Provide horizontal scrolling without having to go to the horizontal scrollbar, say with SHIFT + Scroll. I dont know where i saw it, but i think it would be useful as some entities have many properties and we need to scroll right

  12. Option to not show hyperlinks (FK) in result grid.

    Sometimes a table might have a couple columns at most that are for viewing, the others are foreign keys. It would be nice to hide those if I don't use the hyperlinks.

  13. Extend the Smart tag for namespace importing to also work for extension methods

    The namespace import smart tag works great, but if you are accessing an extension method that it won't offer any suggestions.

  14. Allow copy results as RTF to be able to paste in gmail

    Hi,
    In order to paste results in Gmail:
    Or 1. Export to excel and attach.
    Or 2. Export to Word, copy (as RTF), then paste in Gmail.

    Sometimes I just want to paste some small results to Gmail. It would be awesome if you let to copy the result in RTF (even by loosing some of the formatting).

    Thanks!

  15. Possibility to save/load persisted variables (Util.SaveVariable/LoadVariable) for use between executions

    If you could (for example) use Util.CurrentQuery.SaveVariable('currentCustomerId', 10) to save a background-variable, so that I can use Util.CurrentQuery.LoadVariable<int>('currentCustomerId') in my query to continue where I left off.

    Right now I have solved this by making my own functions in "My Extensions" to handle this.

  16. Show Execution statistics pr Dump()

    Right now im writing a series of Linq2SQL / Entity statements.

    When pressing F5 the total amount of executiontime is shown in the statusbar...

    What would be cool, would be to extend the result browser to display execution statistics

    eg: every grid could have a row underneath that tells the following:
    Started 700 msec - Ended 1000 msec - Execution time: 300 msec

    this would be very usefull when optimizing queries

  19. Make the horizontal scrollbar visible all the time

    at least don't hide it just because the visible lines (of a larger script) don't need horizontal scrolling. Because dynamically hiding/showing it adjusts the vertical height of the vertical scrollbar which in turn makes tracking the scrollbar thumb using the mouse I-M-P-O-S-S-I-B-L-E !!!

  20. Adding a Schemaexplorer for Tables would be really nice.

    It would be easier to have a Schemaexplorer rather than going to the treeview and look for the desired table
