How to make Intellisense work on LinqPad?
I have installed LinqPad 4, but Intellisense is not working.
Can anyone please let me know?

Have you purchased the autocompletion license?

I have licensed LinqPad installed in my machine but intelligence is not working in that. I tried in another machine and it is working fine with my credentials but in my machine its not working.

Please let me know how to fix this and what might the reason for it?

I have the same issue with LinqPad 5. Got a license, but intellisense not working.

JoeAlbahari

When you start LINQPad, does it say 'Licensed to..." in the top right?

Hello, I have licensed LinqPad 4.58 but intelligence is not working. What else should I set?

ahcruzado

yes, it does.

kingkeith

which language are you trying to get intellisense for?

ahcruzado

VB

JoeAlbahari

LINQPad 4.x doesn't provide Intellisense for VB. That functionality relies on the Roslyn libraries, which are part of LINQPad 5. LINQPad 4.x is 3 years old. You can upgrade here: http://www.linqpad.net/CustomUpgrade.aspx

ok, thank you

I'm having the same problem. Running Windows 10, Using Linqpad 5, top right corner shows "Licensed to... the company I work for" and no intellisense/autocomplete.

@LinkBoy you are also writing in VB? do you get intellisense for C#?

LinkBoy

@kingkeith Thank you for getting back with me so promptly and sorry for my delay in responding (I'm working part time as an intern and going to school full-time). I'm able to write in SQL, but I'd like to be able to have intellisense for C#.

JoeAlbahari

What happens when you set the language to "C# Expression" and type something simple like:

int.

Does it show members of the int type after hitting the period?

Hi I have linqPad 5. Autocomplete stops working after the first run (F5). I have a corporate license. and it shows "licensed to ..". The only autocomplete I see is snippets nothing else.
This started happening after I edited Linqpad.config. Is there something in config that could switch off. Tried the int. test (see above) this also did not autoComplete. I'm C# . Any ideas?

Hi, I have a LINQPad 5. When registering, it gives an error and I can't do anything else, what can it be?!!

JoeAlbahari

@SimonAmpex456 - does this happen on just one machine? Have you tried a re-start and checking autocompletion with a new empty query?

@TraceyBlack - Please contact customer support with your activation code.

SimonAmpex456

yes tried blank query and restart. AFAIK just the one machine.
Later .. after machine reboot I got a side-by-side error which usually (I believe) points to app config problems. I must have edited LinqPad.exe.Config and I believe I introduced an xml syntax error. I renamed LinqPad.exe.config to hide it. this fixed the startup error and the autocomplete error. So I am now running without LinqPad.exe.config.

What is the difference between LinqPad.config and LinqPad.exe.config I no longer have LinqPad.exe.config? will that cause a problem?

JoeAlbahari

With LINQPad 5, LINQPad.config controls default configuration options for queries that you run. LINQPad.exe.config is for the LINQPad host itself. This includes some binding redirects and settings that may be required for correct operation of LINQPad. You can restore it by downloading the LINQPad app again.
