In VS 2010 a prompt would show up when switching between branches that used the same IIS path. This prompt was: "The Web project '...' is currently configured to use the URL '...'. The Web server has this URL mapped to a different folder '...'. Would you like to remap this URL to point to this Web project's folder?". VS 2012 no longer asks this. It just remaps the paths without asking. I know some will prefer 2010's way and some 2012's way, so please give us a setting that allows us to choose whether we are prompted.

We have added support for ASP.NET MVC4 in an existing large web application. We have to have custom view folder locations, and cannot abide be the typical model. Everything works fine with the view engine, but when right-clicking in a controller action method and select "Add View" or "Go to View" it searches in the wrong place

It's available for WPF froms AFAIK and will be nice for WinForms too

Really need to have the option of having a pointer reference to a file that is in a central location (such as source control) without copying it locally first. Also, be able to place it in any directory (such as a sub-directory of the build output) during the build process without a post-build step.

Currently, you can only add reference to assemblies under the "References" section within a project and you cannot control the output of where the file gets dropped in the build output without a post-build xcopy step. (the file now just gets dropped in the "bin" folder.

Update CHESS: Systematic Concurrency Testing (http://chesstool.codeplex.com/) to work with Visual Studio 2012 (or upcomming version of Visual Studio).

Every one of us who develop games, applications , etc.. using Visual Studio, should share his work with others. Just like this guy is doing on his Blog here: http://VisualStudioApplications.blogspot.com
He's not only showing his work, but also offering the code! his blog seems new..
Why don't everyone do just like him? sharing is good for beginners (I'm a beginner and found this really helpful), and surely everyone will like this idea.

CSS3 introduced rem (Root em) font sizing which greatly simplifies achieving consistent font sizing on pages. The design surface and intellisense both need to support this.

When creating and debugging console applications it would be great if the window position and size were persisted so that the next run placed the console window in the place it was left.

Think of scenarios where you have multi-monitors or limited screen real estate on a laptop or VM.

* I am aware and have used the SetWindowPos user32.dll and GetConsoleWindow kernel32.dll hacks but those are not ideal in my opinion.

1. packages for different architectures can be choosen during installation. e.g. if I don't develop fo Itatium, just give me a option not to
install anything(headers, libraries) related to Intel Itatium, and when updating service pack, don't install sp for features I haven't installed.
2.

The uservoice.com tool should Support Windows live as external Login!!!! not only Facebook and Google. A shame for Microsoft!

I miss Dynamic Help functionality from previous Visual Studio versions. A quick search online shows that I am not alone in this. No need to use VS 2010 until there is. Takes too long to find information with the help available.

I wold like to be able to click RMB on directory in solution and have option 'find in directory', which will scan only files in specified directory. The same is available in NetBeans.

In the solution explorer I get the "Scope to This" when clicking on a folder for regular style projects, but in a precompiled web site project I don't get the option. This would help me focus in on specific areas that I'm working on.

From my point of view it would be great to have a feature to manage labels for the "Validation Rules" in the IDE in order to locate quickly a rule to edit.

Please find a screenshot attached to understand better what I mean.

Thanks.

Or at least add a new shortcut if cmd.exe is required for backward compatibility.

Some project setting or properties saved in *vcxproj, some saved in *.user file. I suggest to separate user setting from global in Project Properties Dialog and to add ability extend global properties by local value.
