Allow direct printing (without printer dialog) in Microsoft Report Viewer 2010 (WinForms)
The Microsoft ReportViewer control only has a "PrintDialog()" method. Calling this method opens the "Print" dialog where users can choose from a list of printers and then press ok to print a report. - If several reports have to be printed, this forces the user to confirm the printer choice for each report. - It would be great if Microsoft would add a method (something like "PrintImmediately()") that DIRECTLY prints the current report to the default printer, without any further user prompt.

Have Color.FromName return Color.FromARGB(255,0,0,0) where the string that is passed to it is not recognised.
Have Color.FromName return Color.FromARGB(255,0,0,0) where the string that is passed to it is not recognised.
This would support Forms and controls which only support solid colors.

Create Full Migration tool to go from WinForms to WPF
WPF should be a superset of WinForms. If not, small enhancements could be made to make this so. This would allow to convert all code from WinForms to WPF with 100% fidelity. This was the huge mistake Microsoft made when they moved to VB.Net from VB6 because they let a 3rd party design the migration, who happened to sell migration services. If they did this right, MS could lower their costs because they would only need to support WPF. This should be a no brainer to help all of the Enterprise developers which are a huge source of the MSDN…

Set Windows Forms as start form
It would be nice when it's possible to right click a Windows Forms file in the Solution Explorer and set this as the start Form. This is also possible in an ASP.NET project but not for a WinForms project

Include the ability to hide controls at design time
Include the ability to hide controls at design time, just the way you can hide controls by clicking on the 'eye' icon next to the name of the control that you want to hide in the Objects and Timeline Panel in Expression Blend 4.
With this feature made available in Visual Studio, designing, coding and debugging becomes a lot of easier and more fun, especially when you are dealing with overlapping controls, and suddenly want to interact or change something on a control that is hidden behind another control due to the Z Order.
Thanks,

Show desktop icon
Hello Programmer,
I would like to see the show desktop icon working by screen and not for the entire screens connect.
We always need to click on each windows to reopen on different screen. That is a great feature to see it on the corner but will be lot better to have on all screens.
Thanks hope to see it on next version.

Add a new member function to System.Drawing.Icon to extract icon from file just by providing file extension
Currently, System.Drawing.Icon provides a member function to extract the associated handler's file icon providing a vaild file path.
This function only works with local files. It isn't able to provide icons given UNC paths or any other repository.
This isn't versatile enough.
Thus, I'd like to suggest do add a second member function to Icon (or to extend the functionality of the first implementation) to provide an icon just by providing a file name extension (e.g. ".txt").
If the original ExtractAssociatedIcon method would be extended for this functionality, no existing code would break. It's easy to disambiguate by the leading…

Create Interface System.Windows.Forms.Control and System.Windows.FormsForm
When using an interface to extend either a form or a control, you frequently have to cast back to the base type in order to perfom general operations. If there was an interface for these, you could have your custom interface inherit from that.
