After debugging a unit test, several InvalidOperationException and CommunicationObjectAbortedException errors are thrown and caught within the unit test framework. If you go to Debug --> Exceptions and check Common Language Runtime Exceptions --> Thrown, then the debugger breaks on every one of these exceptions.

Can you please change the test framework code where it won't raise these exceptions? It's very annoying to have core Microsoft code that's throwing and eating exceptions after every unit test debugging session. I had hoped this would be fixed in VS 2012 Update 1, but it still has the same problem.

I originally logged this on Connect at http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/773660/debugging-unit-tests-raises-and-eats-several-exceptions-when-closing, and Microsoft suggested that I also post it here to get it scheduled sooner.

Include support for Dynamic Web Templates. This feature existed in Expression Web. With EW being removed as an MS product, it would be nice to move it's capabilities into VS.

VS is great for ASP.NET, but in many cases ASP.NET is a massive overhead that does not fit a website project. HTML5 is preferred for general website design, but a method for consistancy is still needed, thus Dynamic Web Templates.

I create and manage websites for non-profits. In most cases they host the website on whatever platform is free or donated. Providing the website in HTML and PHP is the best approach to provide cross platform support. The DWT provides a simple way to manage the structure of all of the pages.

Many people will state "just use CSS". Well, when working with non-profits and, in general, small companies with low budgets, CSS is (beleive it or not) too complicated for them to manage themselves.

I love to work with Visual Studio 2010 and am also using team explorer.
Mostly I am working in parallel with 3 team projects. The new team explorer 2012 makes it absolutely impossible to work efficiently for a software engineer. Well, it's quite sufficent for dump programmers not able to work with more than two or three work items, but for a software engineer working with architecture, planning, documents and so on it's definitely a NOGO.

Just simply offer the same tree choice as in VS 2010 Team Explorer. Additionaly you can add the new tabs that are active for the actual selected project in the tree.

I and many developers I know have suffered dragging files accidently, from one location to other in the Visual Studio Solution Explorer.

If the solution is in a source control and not checked out, VS prompts to check out (if configured to do that) but in any other case the situation can get very frustrating.

It would be great to have a confirmation prompt when the user drags a file from one location to another in the solution explorer.

I have heard of a way to completely block drag and drop functionality using a VS extension.
But it sounds like a workaround as drag and drop is very handy while solution restructuring / re-factoring.

Jetbrains (creators of ReSharper) have a great licensing scheme whereby you can buy a personal license of all their software which can be used for commercial work, provided it comes out of a person's funds (and not paid for by a company).

I use Visual Studio every day and am frankly disappointed with the IDE - MS seem to be more interested with ticking feature boxes than actually making features useful. For example, you still can't expand the options/settings dialogue box in VS 2010 (so have to scroll through tiny lists of fonts)! The refactoring support is clunky and slow. Navigating around code isn't great. It's a shame there isn't a serious alternative C# IDE like there is in the Java market.

I would prefer to have a cheap Standard Edition of VS that costs around £100 that I can install ReSharper onto and use for commercial work. I don't want to pay £700 or whatever for some half finished IDE that I have to pay even more money to make usable.

Apologies if this sounds harsh, but without ReSharper, VS is sooo frustrating compared to other IDEs such as IntelliJ and Eclipse. A good WYSIWYG GUI designer is nice, but I spend most of my time coding so and the features around coding are either missing or slow and clunky.
