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".

  1. Save the position of the LINQPad Results window

    First of all. Thanks for this great tool. It made (at least in my opinion) a much better devloper out of me regarding how to write/test & improve linq-queries. Now, this is a suggestion I have:

    As I am always using the results-window outside of the main-window (on my second screen), it would be really nice and helpful if LINQPad would store exactly this setting.
    Then, when starting LINQPad, it should move the position of the window to the same position as it was left when closing LINQPad the last time.

  3. Create a setting for the specific version of FSharp tools and libraries to use for each Query

    I have been trying to use FSLab (F# data science tools) in the latest version of LinqPad. It seems that LP is using a very old version of FSharp.Core.dll (v4.3.0.0). The assemblies in the latest version of FSLab look to have been built again F# 4.0, with FSharp.Core.dll version 4.3.1.0. This creates all sorts of version issues because LP seems to be explicitly loading 4.3.0.0; specifically miss method exceptions. It would be great if you could add a setting to specify the version of the F# tools and libraries to use. It would make LP a much more useful tool…

  4. Snippets

    I have placed my LinqPad folders inside a "OneDrive for Business"-folder (and made a junction to it in my documants folder :))

    But now Onedrive is complaining that I have a invalid character in "C# Snippets", which turnsout to be the # character.

    Can I rename that folder without losing the functionality?

  6. Add commas to the row count of results

    Add commas (or whatever the user's localization number delimiter is) to the number of rows returned that is displayed in the status bar under the DataGrid. When the number is large, like 849054, it's easier to read it in groups as 849,054.

  7. Improve Util.GetPassword to manage local passwords and other data

    It should be useful to rename the method to Util.SaveData and add a description to better explain what is the saved value, not only the key.

    And add an overload to save data linked with a LINQPad user to allow to have different values for the same key to export and import the passwords to other machines across the team.

    I've created a script to export/import the password using an encrypted .ZIP file.

    Thank you!

  9. Show a broken connection in the connection drop down

    There's a very nice feature that shows broken connections in the Connections panel. It would be nice to have something similar in the connection drop down.

  10. Name new tabs as {TableName} instead of Query {X}

    So it is easier to identify. All named "Query 1", "Query 2" doesn't tell much.

  12. Util.WriteCsv DateTime format

    Util.WriteCsv method should output DateTime to millisecond accuracy.

    Ideally it should allow us to pass in callback / custom value formatter

  13. Minor fixes / ideas

    VIM Visual Mode:
    Type V and hit three times L.
    Linqpad selects only 3 characters, whereas the original vim would select 4.

    VIM Search replace:
    To replace stuff within the current selection, type in VIM
    :s/Pattern/Replace/g

    New Shortcuts:
    ALT+J / ALT+K navigates to the left / right query tab.

    Thanks for this awesome tool!

  14. Handling compiler error CS1701 - '...you may need to supply runtime policy'

    I am compiling code with CSharpCodeProvider and getting error CS1701 with message like that: Assuming assembly reference 'Microsoft.Owin, Version=2.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' matches 'Microsoft.Owin, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35', you may need to supply runtime policy.
    In Visual Studio information stored in assemblyBinding section of app.config resolves this problem.
    How to fix that in LINQPad.

  15. Add interactive output format for lprun

    I would love to be able to make lprun open a results window to dump too (identical to the one in linqpad.exe). Perhaps something like lprun "myscript.linq" -format:interactive or something.

    I write a fair number of scripts that dump a whole lot of information and also provide hyperlinqs for taking certain actions based on that information. Like validating a file and providing clickable fixes for any issues.

    It's not hard to just open up LINQPad and run the script, but it'd be great to be able to run a task in my text editor that runs a LINQPad script and…

  16. ValueTuple

    When constructing a ValueTuple, such as

    var vt = (ItemOne: "This is item 1.", ItemTwo: "This is item 2.");

    and then using the Dump extension method, the dumped output does not reflect the semantic property meanings implied when constructing the ValueTuple.

    It would be nice if instead of Item1 , Item2, etc if you dumped out the actual semantic property names used at instantiation.

    Thank you

    I am using v5.26.01 of LINQPad and v4.4.0 of System.ValueTuple via NuGet / Microsoft.

  19. Add extra XY series to chart

    Currently in the beta charting works really nice, except it is not possible to add an extra XY set, only a Y set can be added using .AddYSeries.

  20. Position of comment slashes when adding comments via the shortcut

    It would be nice to have comment slashes (//) prepended to the first non-whitespace character of a line rather than the beginning of the line.

    Example

    Current functionality - Before using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    \s\s\s\sConsole.WriteLine();
    }

    Current functionality - After using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    //\s\s\s\sConsole.WriteLine();
    }

    Desired functionality - After using the comment shortcut:
    void Main()
    {
    \s\s\s\s//Console.WriteLine();
    }

    • Sorry for the awkward 'regex'-like values representing a space. This wasn't posting with all the spaces.
