Upgrade WPF to better align itself with WinRT
Create a new version of WPF that targets Windows 7 desktop apps, that provides much better alignment with WinRT. The provides a couple of major benefits:
Allow application developers to support dual code bases (desktop Win7 application and Win8 app)
Provide incentive for migration to Win8 and not be limited by the installed base
Provide a migration path for other XAML apps (like Silverlight)
Prepare applications for the sandbox restrictions in Win8
Use a single XAML across Win7 and Win8 (Win8 controls would be emulated as WPF controls in Win7)
The library could be community driven, but sponsored and supported…

Git Provider should *not* add new files to index automatically
The new Git source control provider in VS2012 U2 works quite nicely, but it keeps adding new files to the git index automatically. This messes with my git workflow so much I actually had to disable the provider. The behavior also seems quite arbitrary, i.e. it doesn't make sense to me why anyone would want to add a new file to the git index right when it was created. Please make the Git provider not touch git and the git index ever, unless the user requests it to do so (the provider is actually quite good in this regard already,…

Clicking WEBSITE menu item hangs IDE
Open a Website Project from a network share folder. In the main nav click the WEBSITE menu item. The IDE will hang for a random amount of time while the progress cursor blinks excessively. I think the hang time is related to the size of the project.
I mostly need to get to the Copy Web Site.. tool. Can you make a keyboard command for that?

Generic extension method type restriction should be evaluated by the compiler
Hi there,
Mike Feng suggest me that I should post my discussion here.
I made some examples to prove my point: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/clr/thread/c9ad51c1-0c5a-4eb6-a530-89eaa628c07f/I attach examples so you can test it. In my opinion if the complier watch the generic type restriction it could work like normal non-generic extension method.
Best Regards,

Solve the WebSiteCache bug that causes VS 2012 to hang up
There's a bug that causes VS 2012 to access over 10,000 folders inside the AppData\WebSiteCache folder, causing it to frequently hang up.
A workaround is deleting the folder (which makes VS fast again).
Please solve this bug.

Parallel evaluation Case statement
Select Case i
Case.P myLongTimeFunc1(), myLongTimeFunc2()End Select
It would not be always advisable to use the Case.P statement.
Sometimes the Case statement would be the better choice.
Sometimes the Case.P statement.
So, an expected chance and run-time determination would be always necessary.1 vote -

Custom Control Xaml Editor (Like the "Resources" tab in Blend)
When making custom controls, the ability to edit the generic template "Resource". Blend had this feature under "Resources" but cant be found in VS2012
The other xaml editor stuff is great, but a PITA having to switch to blend for custom control generic xaml designs.

Debugger improvements
In production solutions when there many threads are executed. ThreadPool, Tasks and Threads and others
Debugging of code is pain as quite often it is slow, you have to go step by step very deep, by pressing F8 into, and usually when you are close to line where is bug, after press F8, debugger behave like you presses F5.This means you have to do all process again.
Usually it happens, if other threads in time of debugging failing, by time out error. (WCF Time outs, or Socket timeouts). But I expiriences it quite often randomly.My idea is:

Fully support the C++11 Standard
Visual Studio 2012 shoud fully support C++11 Standard! This will enable developers use the power of C++11. I know that VS 2012 supports some C++11 features, but VS 2012 should support the whole C++11 language! This is a shout-out to the Visual Studio Team!

C11
C11 support or full C99 support. This is needed to cleanly support cross platform C code on Windows. Visual Studio is the only environment that largely DOES not support constructs that are supported on xcode, gcc, and clang. Please do something about this.

Make WinPhone8 JavaScript Debugging Work (set breakpoints and step) for HMTL5/JS/CSS apps (nothing else - no workers)
I can't figure this out, and nobody at Microsoft has been able to tell me either despite spending 250$ to not find out.
In VS2010 with Phone SDK 7 on Win 7 I was able to set breakpoints and debug javascript. It worked well and is absolutely necessary if you want to build cross platform code.
Now I migrated up to Win8 and javascript debugging doesn't work at all.
I has since given up on developing for WinPhone and will target the others because they have development environments that work.
What is going on MS?
Why can't we debug js,…
