Define what you see of:

Here you define (see also Tooltips):

First Addin Tab

The EA Addin Windows supports Tabs for Addins which have a caption. You can choose which Tab you want to be activated first.

Quick Search

Define the Search name for Quick Search:

  • EA Searches Name
  • SQL file name (see SQL Paths)
  • absolute SQL file like c:....\mySearch.sql

SQL Paths

Define the paths hoTools shall search for SQL. It is a semicolon separated list. You can always use the complete paths.

LINQPad

LINQPad is an interactive Scratchpad for SQL, C#, VB, F#. It's not part of hoTools!

To run complex SQL queries from EA just like other queries hoTools has this LinqPad interface:

  • LINQPadSupport
  • UseLINQPad connection
    • If selected hoTools doesn't tries to tell LINQPad which connection to use
    • If not selected hoTools tells LINQPad which connection to us
    • hoTools uses the LINQPad connection file to tell LINQPad which connection to use for the query
  • LINQPad path
    • A semicolon separated list of folders hoTools can find your LINQPad query files (*.LINQ)
  • LPRun.exe path (in LINQPad installation folder)
  • LINQPad connection xml file The *.xml file where LINQPad stores the connections
    • Help, Show LINQPad connections shows all defined LINQPad connections and there major properties
  • Temp folder (folder for temp results)

Note: LINQPad isn't part of hoTools but a great tool I love.
