Allow Summary Property target screen to be determined by code
If you add an EditSelected button and override the Execute method to choose a particular screen to display then the screen no longer corresponds to the one shown via the Summary Property Target Screen.
It would be good if both button and link could be routed throught the same code.
Use Case:I want to display a view only screen for an order when the order status is Placed otherwise the user can edit the order.2 votes -
Add more columns to Source Control Explorer
Source Control Explorer list only fice columns (Name, Pending Change, User, Latet and Last Check-in).
Please add more columns, like Last Modified Date, History Present, etc. that will allow us to see the last modifeid date of the file and not just the date when the file was checked in to source control.
The excellent example is, when you move the files/folders around within Source Control, you are forced to check in the changes, which is every file in the project. Resuling into the same check in date for all files and folders within the project. Now I have to…10 votes -
Populate Test Impact View Asynchronously
All of Visual Studio hangs for a long time when the user opens Test Impact View and the number of impacted tests is large. I should be able to keep working while the list of impacted tests fills up.

Alt+Up and Alt+Down shortcuts to move a line of code up and down
The Productivity Power Tool already provides this feature. It would be nice to have it natively in the VS11 editor.
Pressing Alt+Down moves the current line of code down.

add the option to close and save all
Within the MTM there is no option to close and save all open queries, test cases, etc. The work around at present is to close MTM and then re-open it.

Disabling the container panel of a bunch of validators should also disable the validators
Setting enabled=false of a panel current sets child textboxes to enabled=false, but not validators. Would probably make sense to set enabled=false to ALL controls within a parent panel (if the panel is set to enabled=false).

shortcut for opening the parent bug
I am a regular user of TFS. Many bugs are resolved as duplicate of other bugs. Do we have a shortcut to directly open the master bug.
If not , this will be a good idea to do so.1 voteThere is no functionality like this today but I’ve added it to our backlog for consideration in the next release.

Move a file in TFS, which is dragged from on project to another instead of remove and add it
Until now, Visual Studio removes and adds a file in the TFS if it get traged/moved between different projects. Visual Studio should move the file instead to prevent the CC history.
The same could also be used for cut & paste a file.55 votes -
allow me a way to bulk move work items and source control content from one tenant to another
Allow me a way to bulk move work items and source control content from one tenant to another. This way if I start a project planning and implementation cycle in one tfs SaaS tenant and later it needs to be moved to another one for another group of resources to pick it up and run with it, and own it from that point forward, there is an easy way to do so.

Optimize Team Explorer 2011 for keyboard use

Add SQL Server 2012 Native Client Support for System.Data.SqlClient
Currently to ensure you are accessing the SQL Server 2012 Native Client you need to use the OdbcConnection provider. The problem with this is a number of systems are built around using the ADO.NET providers themselves. This leaves us vulnerable to missing out on features like subject alternative name support for SSL encrypted SQL Server connections. Either keep pace with the SQL Server Native Client when it comes to SqlClient or provide a clear set of examples on how to use it.

Put "Header File" at the top of the add new item dialog
Creating new header files is probably one of the most common things you use the add new item dialog for. In VC11 (at least the beta), you actually have to scroll down to find the option. I don't really care about the WinRT stuff, and even if I do, there seldomly are projects that have more UI classes than business objects (read: headers).

Build progress on taskbar button

I would like the progress showing on taskbar button. That let me start the build, go to other program to do something, seeing the progress on taskbar button has done, then go back to IDE, or refresh the modified web page on IE.

Eyedropper / Spy++-like "Find Window" "smart selector" for Fonts and Colors
While I realize that there have been other suggestions to fix the problem that is that there are a gargantuan number of items in the "Display items" listbox, and the window is not resizable, and the items are only grouped at one level ("Show settings for"), I would like to propose a solution to the madness.
Add a component-aware eyedropper-like tool, something like Spy++'s "Find Window" tool with the target button, so that the user can just move the Options window aside, click the "eyedropper"-ish button to start the selection process, and just click on the component to be selected…

fix intellisense in the context of "For i as integer..."
In the context:
Dim a(10) As Integer
For i As Integer = 0 To 10 : a(IncompleteBeta)
what I typed was a(i), and at close parenthesis, it didn't know that I meant the For i variable. If i were already dim'ed, it works as expected.1 vote
