C#Doc
The XML docs C# supports are really ugly and without editor support extremely difficult and cumbersome to write. Even so, the editor support for them is surprisingly limited (unless you use ReSharper).
The C# compiler and Visual Studio should support JavaDoc/JSDoc style comments as well. They're much cleaner, easier to write/read/understand.
Making the documentation tools better is essential in increasing their adoption in the first place. The ugliness and complexity of XML docs prevents many people from writing them. XML is for machines to write and read, not humans.

Team Build, process parameter suggestion
"Queue New Build" -> "Parameters" tab display lists ~ 13 values; Limited scrolling.
Suggestion is to have display list as many parameters as are defined and listed in Edit Build Definition --> Process.

Indicate when a solution or a project has unsaved changes
Unless you have the solution or project properties window update you have no indication that there are unsaved changes to projects. It's very easy to make changes without realising it (e.g: add a reference via Resharper). If you're using an external source control tool such as Git you are likely to stage and commit incomplete work because you need to press Ctrl + S first.
An asterisk at the right of the project name would adequate, or maybe a colour change... whatever.1 vote -
Add "run with options" to test tab in TFS2012 web client (as in test manager)
Though you now can execute tests via the test tab on the TFS2012 web client, you cannot specify a build that is used for uploading the results. When analyzing the test run later via Microsoft Test Manager, all test test results are uploaded without build information, even if a default build was defined in the test manager property pages.
This makes the test tab on the webclient useless in case if is required to always run tests against a build.

option to debug in c#
It will be great if a developer can debug a windows application dlls. Because every time we need to connect to the customer and debug through code. What I am trying to say is like how we can debug a html page. the same way we need option to debug in c#dlls.

Class View does not retain previous state
Hi,
I am wondering why class view does not retain its previous state after application re-opens. Or why there is no quick "expand all" option included.
It is quite annoying to reopen the tree everytime I re-launch the VS...1 vote -

Display Visual Studio version in title bar
At this moment Visual Studio displays in the title bar a string like
{Solution name} - Microsoft Visual Studio (Administrator)
It would be good to also display the VS version, 2010 or 2012, something like
{Solution name} - Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (Administrator)
or
{Solution name} - Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 (Administrator)1 vote -
fix the issue where logging off and logging on as another user doesn't work right. It seems like you can't effectively log off.

Provide us with Xbox One Version of VS Express
It would be awesome if we could start creating apps and games for Xbox One store before the hardware comes out. Perhaps we could make it work with current Kinect and Xbox 360 controllers on our windows 8 hardware??

Allow TFS "Get" operation in VS2012 Solution Explorer to get only the files that are in the solution
Unfortunately, in VS2012, a TFS get operation in Solution Explorer is basically the same as a get operation in Source Control Explorer. In the past, the get operation from Solution Explorer only obtained the files that were in the solution and projects (sln). If you wanted all other files, you used Source Control Explorer. The new design is causing us many problems because we have several files in Source Control that have absolutely nothing to do with the solution build, but have much to do with the product itself. For example, we have many documents and SQL databases that stored…

Add the ability to perform a TFS "Get" operation in the Visual Studio IDE during build as has been available in the past
I provided this in bug 786979 (http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/786979/cannot-perform-a-get-operation-in-vs2012-tfs-when-a-solution-is-building). There is too much hand holding that has been introduced in VS2012--and this is part of it. It makes advanced users less productive. At least provide the ability to dismiss the message once you've seen it once as in earlier versions. I know you can still do this with the command line, but this is annoying if you simply want to get a single file up to date, especially with large solution structures with many files and folders such as we have.

Expose Project-Configurations chosen in the Configuration-Manager to the build system
The configurations chosen for projects in the Configuration-Manager should be exposed to the build-system by variables. Sometimes projects depending on other projects in the same solution need special setup depending on what configuration was chosen for the dependency. Currently only the configuration chosen for the project to be built is exposed - not for the other projects in the solution.

Delete Backlog Item or Linked Task using the Context Menu in the Product Backlog
When on the Product Backlog for a team project the only way to delete a product backlog item is to open it and then delete it. It would make the UI more intuitive if you could right click on the item and then delete it.

document describe Scrum V2.2 in detail
0
So we're investigating going from Agile 5.0 to Scrum 2.2 with some customizations. While researching scrum we found on the site http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ff731589.aspx there is a state diagram at the bottom for the Bug work item. We agree with those states, and so progressed our research into the field list.
When looking at the work item definition (XML) for the Bug item, I notice that the workflow has a lot more transitions. The transitions are:
1. "New" to "Done"2. "New" to "Committed"
3. "Approved" to "New"
4. "Approved" to "Done"
5. "Committed" to "New"
6. "Done" to "Approved"

Change the product backlog and Sprints to include all children, or atleast as choice.
Basically the producs backlog and sprints should look like this picture attached. It can be customizeable, how many children, etc.
All we see now are the backlog. but for a quick overview, our team would like to see the tasks required to get there. Gives a bit better overview for a 2 (sofar) people team. But most importantly for new guys to see.
