JetBrains make Visual Studio a better app. Either learn from them, license from them, or buy them.

(on behalf of a customer) Would like an ActiveX control or extension for getting both volume levels of a usb webcam microphone at intervals lower than 40 miliseconds and the webcam's image capture (both at realtime) as a bitmap. I believe this will lead to high quality open source speech recognition.

In the Visual Studio Git extension cloning a repo ignores submodules. When a repo is cloned it should perform a recursive clone through the submodules.

Also, submodules are not shown correctly for commits. Please add support for git submodules.

I don't understand why web config transformations come bundled within Visual Studio, but to transform fat client (Win Forms, WPF) apps, you have to download the Slow Cheetah extension. Save us all the trouble and make this an out of the box feature.

It seems like hosted TFS service does not yet support process template customization.
Can you please allow that ...like work type definition edit using Power Tools 2012.
So that I can export file locally...edit the WIT (work item types),edit the wit and import the edited WIT tlo the service.
Please do let me know if it's supported.
It doesn't seem to be supported for me.
Thanks

The current version is from 6/3/2011 and doesn't integrate into VS2012.

It can save time, especially when you have big project. Chrome can do it, why not Visual Studio?

If we can see what extensions are slowing the IDE, the we can make a informed decision by either reporting them back to the extension creator or disable them until the issue is resolved.

The Git extension for Visual Studio 2012 should add the ability to push and pull to remotes other than 'origin'.
It should also add the ability to set-up tracking branches of remotes.

A DGML viewer for my own graphs in VS would be very helpful. I realize it is part of the Ultimate version, but I am a solo dev and do not need the rest of the Architecture features. In my last project I cobbled together an DAG viewer from QuickGraph, Glee and Graphviz. MSAGL was not easy enough to implement and the graphs were inferior to the ones generated by the viewer in Ultimate.

Would be a great contribution to the community see integrated in Visual Studio, Ajax and Jquery

XML-based files are pretty common so it will be great if developers could easily extend XML editor. It will be great if I could create dynamic intellisense for certain attribute or element value. Or if I could mark some attribute or element to use custom language service eg. C# or SQL.

Should exist a Team Foundation Server MSSCCI Provider 2010 for platforms with 64-bit.
We have a huge demand for Matlab and we use the 64bit version. For our surprise we noticed that there is no 64 bit version of MSSCCI and Matlab 64 is not able to connect to the 32 bit version of it. Searching on the web we found other people with the same problem.

When there are updates available for extensions, you install them in the Extension Manager, one by one. There should be an "Update All" button so I can review the EULAs all in one go, then walk away from my computer while all the updates are downloaded and installed.

It would be nice to save data comparisons (in a definition file, etc) or pass in which tables to compare via command line / command utility. When comparing data in larger databases (say, 500+ tables) and I want to compare only a subset of tables (say, 50-100) the interface requires manually selecting only the desired tables. It would be nice to automate this task.

With VS2008 and SQLserver 2008 it was possible to install BIDS as a component of the full VS2008 installation. When VS2010 came along, you had to run VS2010 for most development, but needed a VS2008 shell for BIDS. Now VS2012 is current, SQLserver 2012 uses a VS2010 shell. Since Visial Studio allows extensions, why isn't the BIDS/SSDT compnent developed as an extension - albeit a complex one?

After adding nuget packages to my solution, they should be referenced by in the solution explorer such that when I right click my solution and choose to check-in it will also check in the packages folders so that the references are updated for all developers. Currently this requires checking in from the project root through Source Control explorer or the file system.

add a built in subverssion integration into vs not limiting it to TFS, or by using 3ed party component that slow down vs loading and make it crash

Please, integrate functionality of Productivity Power Tools and PowerCommands to Visual Studio distributive, I want to have such functionality out-of-box, like in case of Eclipse or any other IDE. I need functionality of hlighting selected line etc.
