改进自动提示
请vs改进一点,即输入某传字符,vs会提示一串字符。但是,接下来,不管输入backspace还是enter,vs都会将自动提示强行录入。这样的话,如果我不想一用自动提示字符串,那么自动提示字符串还是被应用了。这时,我们这些苦逼的程序员只能删除掉,重新输入。建议:
当出现提示字符串时,应用enter键,则提示字符串录入。应用空格或者tab键则不应用提示字符串。谢谢了!中国某赵姓苦逼程序员致意微软

Search & Replace dialogue should persist across pages
When using the search and replace box to change the ID of a control, this is easy in the HTML page. When you then switch to the code behind page, the Search & Replace box hides itself. So you then have to press CTRL+H again, which overwrites your search term with autopopulated stuff from the code-behind.
The old search and replace field in VS2010 was far better I'm afraid. It doesn't have to look cool to be good :-)

Add a Function to Assist in Finding Project Dependencies
I have a fairly large solution in which project dependencies are not correct, so projects fail to build depending on whether their dependencies happen to have been compiled already.
It would be nice to have a tool to scan for missing project dependencies -- e.g. if a header file imports a TLB file built in another project.

Intelli-Sence for nullable enum properties and field
example
enum E { a, b, c }
class Foo
{
public E? Bar {get; set;}
}when I type "new Foo().Bar = " I expect, that popup with enum E will be shown like if property Bar is of type E.
This also applies to "==" operator.

Add ViewStart to view folder when adding a new MVC Area
When adding a new MVC Area to an MVC Internet Application, add a ViewStart file to the area's View folder.
At this time, I have to manually add the ViewStart to enable my area view to render the layout file. It would be helpful if this could be implemented.1 vote -
Provide a property, Generate as literal on the application settings table
GenerateAsLiteral will generate the settings value as a literal in the designer.cs file. [global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("server\\dbname"] becomes [global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute(@"server\dbname")].
Generate as literal will make the application settings table more versatile.1 vote -
reduce the size of the RC icon in the title bar to reduce the size of the title bar
The new icon take a lot of space, which makes the title bar bigger. I think the size of the icon should be smaller to have more space for the code.
I think it is great to have moved the quick lauch to the title bar which make great use of that empty space and make it possible to hide the menu via extension without impacting the quick launch.1 vote -
Grey out projects not being built in active solution configuration
Basically I need help understanding my solution configurations. If we have multiple build configurations and you toggle between them we need a visual way of understanding what's going on. One basic idea is to grey out projects not being built. Ideally this would apply to files as well.

Package Visual Studio as .xbap
Many currently available libraries,.NET Framework versions and development tools are not compatible with each other. For example, one cannot deploy .NET 4.5 beta side-by-side with .NET 4.0, or there are incompatibilities between certain versions of DevExpress. To allow a developer to work with different configurations, at this moment we have to create different virtual machines containing Visual Studio 2010 and all other frameworks, libraries and tools. We do have a solution at this moment, but sometimes it is a lot of work to maintain all these development environments. Since VS 2010 is already implemented using WPF, would it be possible…

Local DNS configuration tools instead of hacking the hosts file
It would be good if you could easily enable the configuration of the hosts file and maybe provide other productivity boosting tools for developing apps which require a specific DNS/subdomain configuration.

Remove filtering of item types
As of now, VS filter item types which can be added to a certain kind of project. For example, right-clicking the winforms exe project brings a menu with "Form", "User Control" and such. For WPF exe there will be "Resource Dictionary" and "Window". And similar filtering applies to "Add new item" dialog. Unfortunately, this mechanism often fails. Sometimes I am not able to add a ResourceDictionary to WPF project, for example.
So my suggestion is: please keep filtering the context menu and remove filtering from dialog. Blame the responsibility for adding certain item on programmer. First of all, he is…

solution explorer search
Hi,
I suggest that you add the ability to search for a file in the solution explorer. Sometimes in large projects it is hard to find a specific file and a search or filter option will be great.
Thanks,

WCF Configuration Editor validation like Windows ADK
Provide WCF Configuration Editor validation for various config file settings in a manner similar to the validation provided for settings in the Windows Automated Installed Kit (WAIK) and Windows Automated Deployment Kit (WADK). This would greatly simplify editing WCF configuration files as well as troubleshooting incorrect settings.

use navigation buttons on mouse for navigating
Many mice have a 'Back' and a 'Forward' navigation button. How about using these buttons to navigate in Visual Studio? (equivalent hotkeys: CTRL+ -, CTRL+SHIFT+ -)

Make the default sorting of Pending Changes (toUpper) and Solution Explorer (toLower) consistent.
Make the default sort in Pending Changes and Solution Explorer consistent.
Pending Changes currently sorts alphabetically ascending using ToUpper(), and Solution Explorer currently sorts alphabetically ascending using ToLower(). This causes inconsistencies in file ordering when characters between 'Z' and 'a', namely underscores, are used in file names.

Bring back the yellow-colored folder icons in the Solution explorer... I'm not color-blind, I'm shape-blind in a sea of grey icons!!!!
If possible, get rid of the **** idea of making all icons grey. Pardon my French, but it was a very bad and childish decision. No need for it, it's a setback, not a good thing, like thousands of people already told you. Don't be so stubborn about it, but admit the blunder and simply change it back. Oh, and by the way: fire the manager who brought it up and pushed it through... he or she is a MAJOR IRRITATION factor to you user base all over the world, which you are losing one by one by letting such…
