NetPad Changelog

What's new in NetPad 0.7.0

• What's New:
• ASP.NET Support:
• Open script properties (F4) and check Reference ASP.NET on the bottom left to Add ASP.NET to your script and get a web app running in seconds!
• Compiler Optimizations:
• Select to enable or disable compiler optimizations.
• Preprocessor Directives:
• A few C# preprocessor directives are now available.
• Database Connections:
• Connection String:
• You can now manually edit the connection string.
• BREAKING CHANGE: For your MS SQL Server connections, you will need to edit them and check "Trust Server Certificate". This was implicitly added previously.
• Scaffolding Options:
• New options were added to give you more control over the scaffolding process.
• Entity Framework Logs:
• The SQL tab now shows all Entity Framework logs, with colors, and provides a dropdown to filter them by category.
• Override OnConfiguring:
• NetPad overrides the OnConfiguring method on the base DbContext to forward Entity Framework logs to the SQL tab. This means you can't override it yourself. To get around that, a new OnConfiguringPartial method is introduced and can be used like so:
• Enhancements:
• This update adds the ability to dump the following objects types:
• Dumping media files (using the new Image, Audio and Video classes in the NetPad.Media namespace) will render them as media content the output pane.
• Dumping JsonDocument, JsonElement and JsonNode will output their JSON representation.
• Dumping XmlNode, XNode and other related types in System.Xml and System.Xml.Linq namespaces respectively will output their XML representation.
• Additional Parameters:
• These new optional parameters were added to the Dump() method:
• css: (string) css classes to add to output. You can use any Bootstrap v5 classes. Support for defining your own classes that you can use with this parameter is coming soon.
• clear: (int) will clear dumped result after specified milliseconds.
• code: (string) dump a code string with syntax highlighting.
• HTML Rendering (experimental):
• Added basic support for HTML rendering. You can now Dump() HTML (and JavaScript!) and see it rendered in the output pane.
• See wiki for examples. More documentation and examples are being added to better demonstrate usage.
• Others:
• Compiled script assemblies now have the fixed name "NetPadScript" which allows you to make the internals of your own assemblies visible to your NetPad scripts like: [InternalsVisibleTo("NetPadScript")] (#157)
• New flatpak and snap packages [untested]
• Slightly reduced bundle size.
• Fixes:
• When you switch to a tab that is in the tab bar overflow, it is brought into view.
• Fixed an issue with running some SQL scripts when there is a " in the query.
• Fixed failure installing NuGet packages on non-English locales (#148).
• NetPad will now fallback to AppData folder as the "Scripts folder" if USERPROFILE/Documents is not writeable (#134).
• Fixed NetPad not launching properly when user has the DOTNET_ENVIRONMENT or ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT global variable set to Development.
