There are many, many value lists in the Properties window, and they are often very long. Such lists include "Additional Include Directories", "Additional Library Directories" and "Additional dependencies", to name the most well-known ones.

If the Properties dialog used a tab system for the subcategories, it would be easy to implement a list view, rather than showing list items side by side.

The newfound space could also possibly allow for merging of different subcategories.

I think it's great that the new beta includes a Completion list for intellisense, and makes it infinitely more usable. However for some bizarre reason it is missing the 'Committed by pressing the space bar' option, which is sorely missed by those of us who have been spoilt by the excellent C# intelliSense.

It seems such a tiny feature to add, but would be warmly welcomed!

When you have a big screen or extended monitor to use VS 2011 on windows phone app, I would like to suggest you that allow separate the design screen and XAML in a different screens outside VS. For example, I want keep in VS windows only XAML and C# code. In this case, I want open the design screen outside VS.NET IDE.
I believe that this is important to developer and designer to see how the design is.

In my workflow, I'd like to easily set up a keyboard shortcut to open "Views", then type "P" to go to the first P....Controller file. The best solution I can find now is to set up macros, etc, it should be really easy. Right-click on a folder, "Add open shortcut..." and a dialog to define a highlighting shortcut set.

Support elastic tab stops! Just look at the picture on this web site:

P.S. we should be able to make the choice between spaces/tabs/elastic tabs on a per-solution (or per-project) basis.

when im working on vs11 and add new solution explorers its disapper after a close the project and re open it vs doesnr save my workspace

i like to make it remember my changes

I bought the PlayBook specifically because of its qnx system which i was told was what the Internet ran on. However I've found that many of the sites i use to watch media require silverlight (Sky for instance). I believe silverlight's popularity and marketability would increase exponentially by broadening its base.

After a build, a build agent could become "dirty"; i.e. COM/GAC components could have been installed, registry changes could have occurred, etc.

To make sure that following builds are not using these changes and that the following build is simply succeeding because of previous builds, the build controller should be able to provision a new build agent or revert a build agent back to a known baseline.

The provisioning should take into account patching, updates, etc.

Alternatively, the build controller should expose an extension point, so you easily could plug your own provisioning scheme into the process.

It's an embarassment that one guy wrote a better editor than the whole Visual Studio development team.

VS11 aligns function arguments with the left bracket and it is not the desirable behavior for all the people. There should be an option how to align function arguments, e.g like in vs10 and prior or like it is now in vs11. Now it could be done with completely turning off of the auto indent only which is not the thing one wants to do.

XP support for applications created with Visual Studio 11 C++

When fine-tuning things like margins or opacity, the properties window in Blend allows you to click and drag the property name to increment or decrement its value. It would help to have this feature in VS so we wouldn't have to switch to Blend to get minor things like this just right.

To make XAML editing more like Blend, include the photoshop hotkeys (ie: "H" for hand panning, and "V" for selecting, etc..). This made designing and fine-tuning the interface more productive in Blend, especially if you're used to Photoshop.

The DeploymentItem allows currently only to copy a file once. It will not be overwritten automatically if it is still in the folder but a new TestMethod is executed. This is very anoing for real unit tests and could easily be fixed by adding a property with which it is possible to define that a file shall overwrite existing once.

In the backlog of TFS 2012 you can reorganize the priorities using drag and Drop. It would be nice to also support defining parent child relation using drag and drop. This also goes for the Spint page where you should be able to prioritize the Tasks and even drag a Task from one parent to another. Currently we use Urban Turtle with TFS 2010 and have these options. I would like to keep them.

When I open an ASPX file or switch to a open ASPX file the UI can freeze for a long time (20sec) sometimes. While loading the designer I should be able to continue using visual studio without having to wait for the designer to load this including the ASPX file getting parsed.

abstract Users: ICollection<User> with get,set
default val Users = Unchecked.defaultOf<ICollection<User>> with get,set

member val is awsome but when a property must be virtual (such as a delay-loaded collection in Entity Framework) you have to switch back to the manual backing store.
