You are dumping out the WebResponse which includes details of the content but not the actual content itself and you still need to read it using something like

using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.Content.ReadAsStream()))
{
    string json = reader.ReadToEnd(); 
    System.Text.Json.JsonDocument.Parse(json).Dump();    
}

But it is more easier to use GetStringAsync(url); which does this for you - for example

using (var client = new System.Net.Http.HttpClient())
{
    var url = "https://googlechromelabs.github.io/chrome-for-testing/last-known-good-versions-with-downloads.json";
    var json = await client.GetStringAsync(url);
    System.Text.Json.JsonDocument.Parse(json).Dump();
}

I'm sure my Azure OpenAI Service is able to use, but I just can't use in LINQPad.

Was there a solution to this problem?

I have the same question but will expand it to .NET 7.

It has worked before but no longer works.

Maybe it's due to me but how do I recover?

// No problem with either VS 2022, VS Code or dotnet new.

I have the .NET 6 SDK installed and Linqpad 7.1.5 installed. Linqpad is not recognizing that .net 6 is available

.Net 6 works in all other IDEs (VSCode, JetBrains Rider). I currently still only have VS2019 and have not upgraded to VS2022 yet (waiting on our IT approval on licensing for that).

Any thoughts on how to get .NET6 to work with Linqpad?

I usually write comments in LINQPad first, then trigger AI completion to get code suggestions. However, if I want to modify a part of the code, there isn't a very convenient way to do it. I wonder if you can provide a usage similar to Github Copilot's "Inline Chat"?

Here is a use case:

1. When writing code, select a range with the mouse or keyboard.
2. Press Ctrl+I to bring up the Inline Chat window, then enter a prompt.
3. After pressing Enter to submit, it will automatically modify the code in the selected range for me.

It compiles if preview disabled.

Alternatively, you can call the Win32 API FreeConsole() to unallocate the console assigned to the process. LPRun8-x64.exe will show the console while it's starting up, but as soon as it gets to and runs your code, you can call FreeConsole to have the system unallocate it and close it. The process (and form) will continue running like you expect. If you're okay with that brief flicker, then you're just a P/Invoke call away.

[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
static extern bool FreeConsole();

LINQPad 8 supports only .NET 3.1 and later, i.e., .NET Core 3.1, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9.

For .NET Framework 4.x support, you need to download LINQPad 5.

The static ToDump method applies to scripts and My Extensions - not drivers.

With drivers, you instead override the PreprocessObjectToWrite method. This is described in the documentation:
