add "Favorite Packages" tab to nuget package manager
Please add "Favorite Packages" tab to nuget package manager.
It is still better if it can synchronize on-line by relating with user profiles (for example, nuget.org, Microsoft account, etc.).2 votes -
Team Foundation Service - Create Team Project Collection
I really like TFService but it would really be helpful if it had the ability to create/delete collections so that projects can be better organized.

Integrated .Net Obfuscation for Mobile & Modern (Windows Phone & Windows Store) Apps & Games
*** Visual Studio 2012 absolutely needs to have an integrated .Net obfuscation feature that works on Windows Store and Windows Phone Store apps & games. ***
The Dotfuscator tool that's integrated into Visual Studio 2012 cannot be used to obfuscate Windows Store or Windows Phone Store apps, making it fairly useless to "modern app" developers who are targeting Windows 8, Windows RT, and/or Windows Phone 8.
On April 30, 2013, PreEmptive (the vendor of Dotfuscator) expired the license of the free (and separately downloadable) "Dotfuscator for Windows Phone 7" tool. PreEmptive now charges $500/year or $150/quarter to use another version…

Team Foundation Service. Allow Deletion of Project at TFS UI.
TFS has no way to delete a project at the UI. If you have the authority to create a project then you should be able to delete the project.
Real World scenario: Source Control ended up in an unusable state with one project not checking in fully.
Had to make a new TFS project, a new local workspace and map the local directory to this New TFS project. So now the original TFS project is not connected to any local directories and I want to get rid of it. (No history etc worth keeping.)
Another scenario: Created a hello World…1 vote -
turn off read-only manifest on save VS2012
When i try to save a read-only file, id like it to fail and notice me with a brief sound, just like the previous VS2010 behavior.
I tried selecting/unselecting "Allow editing of read-only files;warn when attempt to save", both options end up showing a popup on save and i always click Cancel.

Load TEst Plug-in with SharePount Integration
The Load Test Excel plugin that can report on TFS load tests stored in a database needs to be able to upload the results report (spreadsheet) to SharePoint in a graceful way.
This would allow automation of reporting and publishing at the same time...0 votes -

exception suggest plug in
I tool for visual Studio that suggests possible exceptions. Compared to Java the c# exception model has the plus of writing less code but it is nearly impossible to determine exceptions before they occur.
So it would be great to have a visual Studio plugin that suggests the possible exceptions in a try catch block. I think it should be technically possible to trace back method calls and find "throw" code. Would be a great Addition for safer code :)

Extension Properties
Extension properties. I want to be able to add 'fake properties' to a class the same way I can add extensions methods. This doesn't work great for properties with a backing store, but is realy useful for property values that are generated at runtime.
Example: Suppose I have a scenario where I want to always get the first chunk of a string up to the first period. I can add an extension property to string called FirstChunk that takes the string, does the substring I need and returns the value.

Enhance configSource functionality in .config files
the configSource attribute is a great feature of .NET, but it has a few drawbacks. It would be nice if you could enhance configSource to make it more useful:
Allow configSource to "override" an element that contains content. Currently, the framework will throw an error if the element contains content.
This is helpful when multiple developers are working on a project and they all have their own settings they need to apply to their app/web.config. We can simply have our own file that we do not check into version control that overrides the entry specified.
If there is a security…

Allow for custom rules in work item field reference
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.

VSTS Load Test : Get page response times for each browser type
In VSTS Load test results, Currently there is no such feature to see page response times for each browser type Separately. As we know, Server process the request based on user agent that we're simulating in the request (for example, different responses will be returned from gmail server for mobile and web requests).
There should be a feature to see response times for different browser types.

string should implement IReadOnlyList<char>
There is no reason not to. It already implements IEnumerable<char>.

to have a clean and easy way to remove TFS from a project or a solution.
Just like entering heaven may be wonderful, sometimes exiting from heaven may be even more joyful. In that light, TFS must have an easy way for us to remove TFS association.

Add a Vi mode to Visual Studio
I'd LOVE a Vi mode in VIsual Studio, one that supports the standard vi/vim key mappings.
I know there are add-ins like ViEmu and so forth that offer this, but they never feel quite as good as I'd expect a native implementation to, and often have clashes with other add-ins.
It would also mean when I'm using other people's machines that I don't have to go and switch my muscle memory from vi mode to "always editing" mode

Have TFService 2012 make backups of work items.
TFS2012 in the cloud should have redundancy built in for my work items not just my code. I am not interested in purchasing a cloud product that cannot guarantee that I will not lose all my hard work for work items.
