recycle the VS Process memory when minimized.
VS 2008 used to recycle the process memory when minimized. This feature was very helpful in dealing with large projects and reasonable number of add-ins.
I wish to see this feature come back...

Create all necessary subfolders for solution directories and their child items on the physical disk.
1. Create a new solution folder for a solution in VS2010. Notice how a subfolder was not created on the physical disk's file structure.
2. Create a new item (for example, a text file) in the newly created solution folder. Notice how it was created directly in the solution file's folder instead of being created in a subfolder.
I understand that the purpose of a solution subfolder may not be to reflect physical disk's structure. But it would be really helpful to have such an option.4 votes -
Support <rewrite> tag under <system.webServer> for web.config
You get a warning if you use rewrite in your web.config. This should be supported schema used by VS out of the box.
You can get it to work by using solution at http://ruslany.net/2010/04/visual-studio-xml-intellisense-for-url-rewrite-2-0/ but this should be out of the box...
Thanks :)

Portable version of Visual Studio
Visual Studio needs a portable option to enable working off of a USB key. This would really help in being able to move around and code on the go, for example moving your configuration, plugins and all, between home and school, or home and work.

In Coded UI Testing support complex controls like AutoCompletebox
Right now in coded ui testing we have to create some extension class and do some extra exercise to test Auto complete box And other Control
in that case what if i have only the exe file not code so i will not be able to test complex control i think in wpf toolkit and wpf extented toolkit Coded Ui testing should work directly without any extra exercise
for more details go to following link

Provide the option to save projects immediately upon modification
When creating a new file in a project, TFS will automatically add the new file to source control. The project, however, will remain unsaved - meaning that if VS happens to crash, the project and source control will fall out of sync. If project files were saved immediately after adding a file, this would not be a problem.

Easier way to set Startup Projects
Add the ability to store startup project configuration with your build configuration. When using multiple build configurations, typically you're doing different things, like running a different part of the project.
Add the ability to select multiple projects in the Solution Explorer list and right click and set as start up project. That way when I need to start my project and web services together all I need to do is ctrl+click them and then set the startup projects.

VSIX should support adding any VS extensibility artefact type
VSIX should support out of the box adding any artefact that extends visual studio behavior (besides the ones it already has)
To name a few (not extensive list)
-Code Analysis Rules
-Team Foundation Source Control policies
-Team Foundation custom work item controls
-Visual Studio Custom Wizard
-Workflow activities (for the toolbox)4 votes -
allow me a way to bulk move work items and source control content from one tenant to another
Allow me a way to bulk move work items and source control content from one tenant to another. This way if I start a project planning and implementation cycle in one tfs SaaS tenant and later it needs to be moved to another one for another group of resources to pick it up and run with it, and own it from that point forward, there is an easy way to do so.

Integrate PIX, and make it more like the Xbox 360 version.
Xbox 360 developers are spoiled with an amazing graphics debugging tool: PIX. Unfortunately PIX for windows is atrocious. This stuff should all just be inside visual studio.

Make CodeAnalysis in VS2012 support rulesets containg relative hint paths
I am trying to use a relative path to a CodeAnalysis custom rules folder in a ruleset file as described here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/codeanalysis/archive/2010/03/26/how-to-write-custom-static-code-analysis-rules-and-integrate-them-into-visual-studio-2010.aspx
However, it seems that relative paths aren't working (I tried in VS2012 only).
Please see here for details: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vsdebug/thread/485cbddd-3489-4043-9563-d042643a6c63

Add hint for which properties in a class INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged is raised
It would be nice to have that described in documentation to have clear point of view for which properties change notification happens (for example in ItemsCollection class).

Add a continuous test runner
Add a continuous test runner that runs tests continuously. I have used nCrunch and the functionality is the best plugin available for visual studio. Now that it has gone commercial we would have to buy it, but plugins for visual studio are hard to justify when spending as much as we do for VS Ultimate.

Better support of different languages within a solution
Better support of different languages within a solution. E.g. it's not always possible to go to declaration from C# to VB.

Command Argument history capability
The property pages Command Argument entry must be changed frequently during program debug and testing. Having a drop down history list of previous commands would make switching between frequently used command arguments much quicker and less error prone.

C11
C11 support or full C99 support. This is needed to cleanly support cross platform C code on Windows. Visual Studio is the only environment that largely DOES not support constructs that are supported on xcode, gcc, and clang. Please do something about this.
