add zoom to embedded html pages in the IDE
The start page, embedded internet explorer pages, and even the results page from unit tests are all HTML pages.
Unlike any other source file, HTML pages ignore zoom changes using CTRL-Mousewheel. Please make the embedded HTML renderer act as the internet explorer 9.

when you create a new bookmark that the IDE uses the selected text as bookmark name. Morever adding a textbox to filter names
For example I'm editing veyr long HTMLs, and I usually set many bookmarks, but I have to spend time naming them. It would be faster for me if:
- The IDE automatically names the bookmark using the selected text. (see the attach image and the red marks as example)
- The IDE provides some textboxes for filtering the bookmarks. So if I have many of them, I can see only the ones that matches my current need. (see for example the yellow marks).Regards,

Provide a customizable stream buffer size for WCF services that return Streams.
By default (without any ability to change the value) WCF services that implement a Stream response type cannot change the output buffer size from 16K (or 32K). Would like the ability to change this buffer size to a reasonably low value to support smaller byte arrays.

Allow schema object updates from database projects TO databases
This would allow developers to make incremental changes/additions in the VS IDE, and DBAs would be able to push schema objects at a granular level. This would make a lot more sense for TFS as database projects shouldn't be a reflection of the database (ie a periodic backup repository), but rather a development platform for the database.

Mobile-based web-applications for targets with innate resource-constrained environment, browser apps
Please enable required features to mobile-based develop applications using various browser-engines (Webkit2, Gecko, V8, Rhino, Chakra) etc., for making developers adapt to visual studio for writing code at great-ease.
A partial list of features which might be required as part of this idea are:
1. Monitoring of transport/session layer (i.e., HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, SOCKS, TELNET, any other port valid in context to the mobile-webapp)
2. Synchronous/Asynchronous modes of javascript execution monitoring.
3. Indirect/Proxy mode supported browsers.
a. Various proxies involved for optimizing mobile web content suitable for browsers running inside smartphones i.e., Content optimizing, Content transcoding, Content media quality…4 votes -

Insert "PagingEnabled"-dependencyproperty for a ScrollViewer
Sometimes scrolling isn't doing what you want, sometime you want to have a ScrollViewer that is paging instead of scrolling.
When developing for iOS the Scrollviewer has the option "PagingEnabled", please create one for a ScrollViewer to or let the developer choose in XAML between paging and scrolling

give me a way to flush the MSBuild targets cache
In Visual Studio 2010, targets files used in the building of a solution are cached by the IDE and there is no obvious way to flush the cache other than restarting Visual Studio as a whole.
This means that if you are customizing your build process in a modular fashion with targets files, you're forced to restart the whole IDE before any changes take effect. This makes using Visual Studio to customize your build process very inefficient and discourages good practice of packaging reusable portions of a build process into targets files.
Please remedy this by either giving us the…

Add option "Do not include new projects in build for active solution configurations "
Every time we add new project to the Solution, VS is including new project for build in all active solution configurations. After that, we have to uncheck that project for most active configurations because we don't want to build it. Can you provide option:
"Do not include new projects in build for active solution configurations "

reduce keyboard hotkeys
i think, many hotkeys are not advantageous, because many hotkey only works in some content. Like F7 for switching to Code or Shift+F7 to WPF. I think, hotkey like this need only one hotkey.

improve the function of IntelliSense(C++)
I felt confused when I typed in "template <typename T" and then typed in the symbol '>', it automatically changed the letter 'T' into "TCHAR". I hope you can identify the keyword "typename" to prevent this.
