Download Linqpad 7.3.9

Linqpad focuses on developers who work with Microsoft’s .Net framework. The name points directly in the direction of Linq but it can also handle C#, F#, VB.Net and SQL. It is available in a limited freeware edition, and can be used with various licenses be provided with more functionality, such as autocompletion and a full integration with NuGet. The developers recently released version 7.3.9 with the following changes:

New Features

• Queries can now target the .NET 7.0 preview. The EF Core drivers have also been updated to support the EF Core 7 preview.
• You can now play with the latest experimental C# 11 features: go to Edit | Preferences > Query and enable Use C# Preview Features and Use Roslyn Daily build.
• You can now define a static ToDump method in any query (not just in My Extensions). This also includes queries that you #load: each can have its own static ToDump method.
• You can now call Util.WithStyle on numeric values ​​without losing right-aligned formatting and automatic graphing in tables. There’s also a new Util.WithCssClass method to specify a CSS class.
• The maximum editable length for text fields in SQL databases (when editing data interactively) has been increased to 60,000 characters.
• The NuGet Package Manager Source Settings dialog now lets you specify an authentication type. Specifying Basic forces basic authentication, which improves reliability when connecting to Azure Devops feeds with a Personal Access Token. There’s also a new option to use default Windows credentials.
• The Find dialog now works with SQL translation text, too. Just focus the control and use the standard menu options or shortcut keys (Ctrl+F, F3, Shift+F3 and Ctrl+I).
