Add "Name" property to Regex Group object
The Group object from the Regex library needs a Name property. I am in a situation where I have regexes that are not known at compile time being run, and I need to create a Name-Value pair from the resulting matches. This is very difficult without a Name property.

include the SQL CE run time as part of the .net framework, instead of requiring a separate redistributable.
Many times it would be nice to provide simple local database functionality that is separated from much larger database instances. For these situations you need to get the latest version of the runtime and include it as yet another requirement for deployment across environment. Depending on the situation in which this is being suggested, the fact that it is not part of the .net framework can sometime be a limiting factor to its use.

Add factory method to NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs
The class NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs has 11 constructors, dealing with add, remove, replace, move, and reset actions, and single or multiple changed items.
I think we can create 5 static facotry methods, for example,
NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.CreateAdd(IList)
NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.CreateAdd(object)
NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.CreateAdd(IList,int index)
etc.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs.CreateRemove(IList)
...I think with these facotry method, we can create our desipred instance quickly.

Implement an overload constructor for URI, which accepts two strings.
I find myself often writing something like this, when I'm working with URI's:
string host = "http://host.com/"; // Or some other host
string page = "folder/page.html"; // Or some other page - f.ex. a crawler
Uri targetUri = new Uri(new Uri(host), page);This is because Uri doesn't have a constructor that takes two strings and does this for me. I'd like for URI to have a new constructor, which can take two strings, and basically do the above (or something smarter).

Change GenericTypeParameterBuilder to override GetGenericParameterConstraints
There doesn't appear to be a way of retrieving the generic parameter constraints on a GenericTypeParmeterBuilder that you didn't create.
Please override GetGenericParameterConstraints to return the constraints.

Disabling the container panel of a bunch of validators should also disable the validators
Setting enabled=false of a panel current sets child textboxes to enabled=false, but not validators. Would probably make sense to set enabled=false to ALL controls within a parent panel (if the panel is set to enabled=false).

Provide an interface IParsable<T>
Provide an interface like
public interface IParsable<T>
{
T Parse(String)
Boolean TryParse(String, out T result)
}so it is possible to write more generic parser logic.

Targeting the .NET Framework 2.0 with Visual Studio 2010 without VS 2008
In order to build a c++ project with .Net 2.0 VS 2008 SP1 must be installed. It would be nice if that could be avoided.

Insert up to date controls for creating state of the art windows ui
The standard windows controls are very poor and most of them since NET 1.0 the same. For developing state of the art software developers must spend many time in creating user controls or buy 3rd party addons.

Make Expressions implement Equals and GetHashCode
Expressions Trees are immutable objects, which makes them excelent in many caching scenarios, except for one big detail: They don't implement Equals or GetHashCode().
Considering the fact that they are immutable, I think it will be great if they implemented such methods, so they can easily be used as dictionary keys (for example).Also, this is more compiler specific, but I think that Expressions generated inside a method, without any reference to local variables, should be implemented as static readonly, always returning the same instance instead of generating a new instance each time. After all, the expression is immutable, so…

Add a QueueUserWorkItem overload to ThreadPool that will be taking smth like IExecutable
Currently QueueUserWorkItem and UnsafeQueueUserWorkItem allocate a small object on each queueing.
Add an overload that will be taking IExecutable so that using ThreadPool won't add pressure on GC.IExecutable could look like this:
interface IExecutable
{
void Execute();

add changing wallpaper programmatically
When I did some research about switching wallpapers programmatically on Windows 7, all posts said it's not possible right now because the API is not public.
I would suggest to add API functionality to switch wallpapers / wallpaper collections programmatically and to change the interval a background is changed, best in a more or less platform independant manner (from Windows XP to Windows 7/8).

Move Dispose call from caller to callee using yield
When a function returns a disposable object, it is responsibility of caller to dispose it (in the examples DisposableObject is an object that implements IDisposable interface).
DisposableObject DisposableObjectCreator()
{
return new DisposableObject();
}void Caller()
{
using (var item = DisposableObjectCreator())
{
// ...
}
}Sometime I feel comfortable to move Dispose responsibility from caller to callee using yield.
IEnumerable<DisposableObject> DisposableObjectCreator()
{
using (var obj = new DisposableObject())
{
yield return obj;
}
}void Caller()
{
foreach (var item in DisposableObjectCreator())
{
// ...
}
}
Naturally, with this change the disposable object will be valid only into…3 votes
