Get current setting for "Maximum rows to display" from inside query?

RichardD

I have an extension method that I would like to change behavior based on if a result set exceeds the current "Maximum rows to display" setting in Preferences|Results. Does the query have access to the current status of this setting?

What I'm trying to achieve is a variation of ToHtmlString that performs "paging" or takes other action to get around the above setting limit. I tried using CreateXhtmlWriter directly, but it always adheres to the Maximum rows to display limit.

The following will query the setting:

int? GetMaxQueryRows()
{
   string userOptionsPath = Path.Combine (
         Environment.GetFolderPath (Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData),
         "LINQPad",
         "RoamingUserOptions.xml");	
         
   if (!File.Exists (userOptionsPath)) return null;
   
   var root = XDocument.Load (userOptionsPath).Root;
   
   return (int?) root.Element (root.Name.Namespace + "MaxQueryRows");
}
