VS2010 would default the Find dialog scope to the Current Document if hitting Ctrl-f from within a document; and Entire Solution if selecting Edit->Find and Replace->Find In Files / Replace in Files.

Visual Studio 11 does not seem to have this capability. It appears to always use the last specified scope. If I last searched within Current Document, clicking Edit->Find and Replace->Find In Files still shows Current Document as the scope, when I actually wanted Entire Solution.

multiple tab selection using "shift" and "control" like multiple file selection in Windows
Goolge Chrome has this feature
you can try it there!

In the VS11 beta:

When creating a New Project, please pay close attention to making the screen as keyboard-friendly as possible. In particular, entering a path in the "location" field should support tab-completion of path names, like in the console.

In big solutions it is not uncommon to find numerous TODO comments scattered around multiple projects. By adding filter like the one in Errors (Open Documents, Current Project, Current Document) would help to find what you need. Or at least consider adding the Project column to the Task list, just showing the File name is not enough.

All app in the word with tabbed interface (browsers) can do this except visual studio.

Window.NextDocumentWindow is useless because it using MRU ordering.

Window.NextTab is still useless because it cycles only the visible tabs (why???)

(This is not an idea instead a trivia, can't imagine why not implemented yet...)

I have noticed it gets hung up frequently. Seems like if you had a few status indicators that would provide some feedback we would know to just close and restart VS.NET ourselves instead of waiting. Better yet, fix the "hang" problem

As well all know that if you generate a WinForm a WebForm, the code-behind file (cs) or (vb) will be automatically generated.

Compared with this, it would be better if we handle a javascript event of a specific control (no matter it is a server-based control or a pure Html-based control), it will also generate a js code-behind for us to write down js codes and refer the js file in the aspx automatically to implement js separated from aspx itself.

I'm a Java programmer migrating to C++ programming, and I find syntax coloring to be a difficult task; An impossible mission.

The text sample in Visual Studio 2012 is not intuitive, not helpful, and unreliable for me to change the colors.

I have attached two screenshots. Please compare them and do see why. Your Visual Studio sample box is just plain and brutal to the eyes.

There are a lot parts of the core components from VS which not every developer needs. But this components use space and make VS more complicated.

So why not handle this parts as pre installed extensions and allow developers to deactivate or uninstall them?

-when i change zoom in code editor, Zoom apply on current page only
-Code editor zoom
-The best if zoom apply to all

There are some features like "search for duplicate code" from a solution. But how about when we have 250 solutions in a company? .csproj-files are easy to manage with custom xml-tools, but solutions and large batch-actions (like update .NET-framework or remove unused references) are not.

Holding shift key when loading is quite common on Windows 7 - when starting second instance of VS. As far as I am concerned this is already fixed in VS2010 - please provide a patch for VS2008 as I can't switch to VS2010 at the moment.

Perhaps the best solution would be to provide user a choice on which key is to be loaded or at least provide a command line option that disables this behavior.

Currently I see following:
1) When project is using VC10 build tools I see (Visual Studio 2010) added to project name. Same for Visual Studio 2008
2) For Intel Compiler and Windoes7.1SDK nothing is appended

There are two problems:
1) Inconsistency - having no tag doesn't mean we are using the latest toolset
2) Clutter - Current tag naming is too long. I think VC10 / VC08 would be better (maybe even in lower-case)

A metro style VS start page

We can rename files in solution explorer, but not if they are add as link.

Renaming a file that has been linked, forces us to rename the file outside visual studio, then manually edit the project file to change it's name (or remove the "old" file from the project and add it again with the new name).
