To make a big and complex applications for desktop with a lot of windows please, provide tabbed control for WPF which will have the same functionality as Visual Studio tabbed interface has.

This will make development of complex applications much more easier and UI will have more functionality.

You really need to bring back the basic Setup and Deployment project name Visual Studio Installer. It was a clean, simple, and effective installer for home grown applications that were to be deployed internally. I downloaded and used InstallShield LE and it's too complicated and overblown to build simple effective install/uninstall capabilities. Why did you remove it to begin with? We have to support desktop applications for the foreseeable future.

I'm looking to show different Work Item Types in different colours on the TFS2012 Kanban board (Agile Template).

I'd like the different WITs to appear in different colours (e.g. User Story in blue, Bug in Red etc). I'm pretty certain I've seen this in Team Foundation Service (cloud) but not in the locally deployed version.

Can it be done? If not, is this feature on it's way to TFS in a forthcoming update, and if so, how far down the road map is it?

Thanks in advance.

We used to use test case extractor to copy our test cases to excel and it worked very well on TFS 2010. Now that we have upgraded to 2012 they Steps field does not have any formatting and steps do not export properly.

When we have an Epic product backlog item with many child PBI's, we want to be able to move one child item further up the backlog order - but doing so breaks the link between the parent and child story. This becomes difficult to track.

It would be nice to have ability to write complex rule for work items field. In my scenerio I have custom field Due Date and I would like to set its value to "DateTime.Now.AddDays(7)". Currently I can only use COPY rule but it support only static value.

Right now, project GUIDs (used in the sln file) appear to be generated deterministically -- which means that whenever two people add a project in different branches, they will be guaranteed to conflict! It is a pretty constant annoyance where I work.

I've seen that this is avaliable in Team foundation Service but why not Team Foundation Server?
It would be really handy is this wa a feature as sometimes just viewing a list really doesn't give you a good idea of how much work you have.

We can´t valite business rules involving a color change in the UI. Ex, if the balance is negative, the color of textbox where you see the balance is red.

In TimeSpan format strings hh refers to 'The number of whole hours in the time interval that are not counted as part of days.' I'd like to have a designation which is just 'The number of whole hours in the time interval' so I can output 36:00 instead of 1:12:00.

We would like to customize TFS Web Access 2012 to add new tabs, pages and other content to support our in-house processes. We were able to do this in the previous version of TFS Web Access. But there is no info about doing so in the current version of TFS Web Access.

The introduction of the 'Tag' field on the latest Team Foundation Service release is very nice. However, it is not possible to use this field when building a query.

Please could we have this field available in the query builder?

The Multilingual App Toolkit is only working for Windows Store apps, this is a great way/help to have multi-language applications and it is needed for any type of applications not only Windows Store apps.

Previously (VS 2010) it was possible to see which individual unit test is running.

I have a set of relatively long running unit tests with external dependencies - it can be useful to see which one is running at any one time.

When i debug in visual studio, the toolbox goes blank. This is really annoying since I often want to make a change to an aspx page by adding a textbox or some other control to the page and I have type it all out instead of being able to drag and drop controls.
