Given that your query is synchronous, you must set the IsMultithreaded property on the buttons to true if you want their click events to fire while the query is still running. Keep in mind that event handlers will fire on separate threads.

Alternatively, make your query asynchronous (async Task Main) and await Task.Delay instead of Thread.Sleeping.

If this doesn't fix it, please post the code for a minimum repro.

Especially better "find in page" support 😁

Hi,

I'm trying to add two nuget packages from my private nuget feed on MSTS. I can login and get the packages listed, but as soon as I click add to query I get this error



I checked the log but there was no additional information.

Any idea?

I have been using it for at least 12 years and it has definitely been money well spent and definitely recommended.

I have currently over 1900 linq files that I have decided to keep on my machine and probably as many more one-off queries that I have not kept and others than I have written when connected to remote machines.

The vast majority of these are using the automatic Linq to Sql connection, but some are using a pre-built Linq2sql or EntityFramework data context models and others connecting to SqLite databases and even csv and json files.

There are also some queries that don't have any data connection at all. At the moment I am working on some code which connects to a webservice using an api and I am prototyping this in LinqPad where it is a lot easier to dump out the json results.

I have another script which I use at home which connects to a spreadsheet in google drive and downloads some information and syncs this to a Trello board all using their apis. It could all be doing in Visual Studio, but is ten times easier in LinqPad and because this is just for myself, it will probably stay as a LinqPad script.

Also the formatting you get from Dump / CreateXhtmlWriter is probably worth the money on its own. Some much so, that I have referenced LinqPad.exe in some of my projects in order to use it.

If your database structure does not have foreign key constraints for its foreign keys, then writing queries will be a lot harder. I have had to extract information from an un-documented sql database with no FK's and it wasn't pleasant. However, this is a feature of the model not the database at run-time, so if you have a pre-defined model that does specify the relationships between the tables then this disadvantage dis-appears.

If it helps, 80% of the queries that I see use no database at all. LINQPad is used mainly for scripting and automation, exploring APIs and playing with NuGet packages, testing ideas, and writing code that's later pasted into Visual Studio.

You need to drag just right

Hi,

When I try to do a basic printfn call in F#, I get a MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Void Microsoft.FSharp.Core.PrintfFormat`5..ctor(System.String)'.

The code to repro is simple:

printfn "%s" "Hi"

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks,

Jon

Environment:

LINQPad 6.5.5 (x64)
Windows 10
VS 2019 16.4.1

❯ dotnet --list-sdks
1.1.8 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.2.109 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
2.2.402 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
3.0.101 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]
3.1.100 [C:\Program Files\dotnet\sdk]

Define "it just won't work" - is the program not responding? Is there unexpected output? Is there no output? An exception thrown?

Perhaps something is cached in the application domain - you can refresh (unload) the domain by pressing SHIFT-F5 ("Query Process Unloaded" should appear in status bar)

Any chance I could get some help with activation as well? I'd love to help test and fix some of the main issues. If we can get this working, the last remnant of my perfect dev environment will be available to me without parallels.

Really excited about this! I just need to be able to register for premium features.
