Configuring LINQPad for NCache

Note

The following section has been implemented using LINQPad 5.

NCache offers seamless integration of LINQPad, as it requires just adding a reference to the NCache LINQPad provider and the custom objects that you have stored in NCache.

  • Open up LINQPad and go to File -> New Query or Press Ctrl + N.

  • On Query menu, click Reference and Properties or press F4 to add reference. Query Properties wizard pops up.

  • In Additional References tab, click Browse. An Open dialog will appear.

  • Browse to %NCHOME%\integrations\LinqPad\ and select Alachisoft.NCache.LinqPadIntegration.dll. Click Open.

  • Browse to %NCHOME%\integrations\LINQToNCache\ and select Alachisoft.NCache.Linq.dll. Click Open.

  • Similarly, add the assemblies for your custom objects.

  • Select Additional Namespace Imports tab from Query Properties page.

  • Click Pick from Assemblies **link and choose Alachisoft.NCache.LinqPadIntegration.dll from **Assemblies section. This would populate the Namespaces section on current tab.

  • Choose Alachisoft.LinqPadIntegration and click < Add Selected Namespaces.

  • Perform the same steps for Alachisoft.NCache.Linq.dll and the custom classes added.

  • It is suggested to click Set as default for new queries button to persist references for all new queries.

  • Click OK.
