In the GUI, I searched for a favorite package, but it released a new version that was not compatible with my older project. I knew the exact version I wanted, so it was pretty easy to use the command-line to install it. But I fantasized about a right-click for previous versions kind of feature right there in the GUI.

When entering a name space with the namespace keyword there should be intellisense support!

for exemple Namesace myProject.

should list the namesaces that have been previously created such as
myProject.Space1
myProject.Space2
etc.

Instead of string.format("insert {0,10:c} in the string",Arg0)

why not go for the simpler "insert {Arg0,10:c} in the string"

"Today is {Now}" instead of string.format("Today is {0}",now)

Typescript integration with .NET framework

I often find myself wanting to call an instance method or local delegate using extension method syntax x.fn(y) rather than fn(x, y), just purely because it is more readable in some situations.

I understand from reading other posts that people are concerned at extension methods increasing the volume of methods in intellisense. In that case, make it optional at project level (always, conditional or never). Allow opt-in using an attribute (as we have now), but don't require the "this" keyword and a static class.

Extension methods are great but far too restrictive at present.

This applies to VB.Net too.

For the unit test framework that comes with VS2010, please allow us to run a test suite againt certain variables being set one way, then swap their values, and run the test again.
IE, if I have a class foo with value isInt, allow me to run test framework (automatically) with first isInt as true, and then as false.

Make cloud Load testing available to Professional users in Visual studio 2013.

Allow users to create and publish load tests in TFS hosted service using VS professional 2013.

As we are moving from software to cloud, it would be useful if cloud load testing is available to all users of Visual Studio.

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.

When you're deploying Windows Store App to a remote device, it says in the output window:
1>Creating a new clean layout...
1>Copying files: Total 205 mb to layout...

And then, at least for me it takes from 60 seconds to 20 mins, until it gets deployed.

Can some additional information be outputed? Like for ex., can you output upload speed every second? This would be very useful, in determining, why sometimes upload is slow

I just learnt a new language (JavaScript in HTML5) and realised that after painstakingly doing a project all my code is available to anyone who visits the site at a simple right-click, View Source Code! Everyone on the web says 'it is a client-side (open source) language so it cant be hiden'; but I believe there lies the opportunity. Please add in visual studio capability to compile the open source code and I am betting you might bring and lock in a massive new users to VS2012!

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.

The entire advantage of visual studio is visual Programming. Why don't put All the javascript in a toolbox ,css in a toolbox ,Html in a toolbox and so on ..Putting Off entire class as tree and its Sub Functions,methods,Items,etc in visual itself makes Even Novice User Grasp and Implement Easily what he want,But size od VS may be a concern to Microsoft but nevertheless it would be charming to have an tool like that.
