    Hi,

    I also encountered this issue.

    Solution:

    Download the *.lpx file directly from the site. www.linqpad.net/.../datacontextdrivers.aspx

    Browse directly to file to load the driver.

    Once you are ready to login there an advance option to select version. Make sure you manually input 8.2 since it has problems with the default which v.9.0 for online.

    LinqPad v5 for Dynamics 365 is not working for me either. :(

    Hi hussmom,

    LINQPad does work with Dynamics 365. This article shows you how to work with Dynamics 365 data in LINQPad.

    As an alternative to LINQPad, you have the option of using an IDE such as Visual Studio.

    hi Adrian, looks like download is not available. It says Failed. Anyway I found this driver from another source and installed but Linq Pad for Dyanmics 365 is not working.

    Can you please confirm if Linqpad work for Dynamics 365 ?

    Hi Hussmom,

    Your likely missing driver file can be found here. If this driver does not fix the issue, try reinstalling LINQPad.
