Allow users to 'sticky' comments & suggestions onto the design or code area and store them as meta info in the solution against that file.
Allow users to 'sticky' comments /suggestions/prompts onto the design or code area and store them as meta info in the solution against that file.
These comments would be visually appealing.
These 'comments' could be toggled on and off allowing other users to see other developers intent.
These comments would not be contained in the design/code itself rather be held as meta data against lines/areas of that file.

Allow custom outlining in .cs files to be saved
For .cs files in Visual Web Developer Express and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop, pieces of code that I explicitly outline with Edit.HideSelection have their outlining removed (which is the problem) when I close and re-open those .cs files. This is regardless of whether or not I have Automatic Outlining turned on, nor whether or not my .cs files enter Outlining Mode when they open. This problem doesn't happen for .cpp files.
Thank you,

Implement the "crash" or "stopped working" dialog to do its thing in the background. I don't care if vcpksrv.exe crashed now!
The dialog gets in my face the whole **** time. vcpksrv.exe keeps crashing and crashing and I have to click and click to close the "stopped working" dialog. Run this kind of stuff in the background for all Microsoft products.

Enabling APIs for editing contact info instead of just reading only APIs
Several countries now expand their network like Egypt. This requires adding an extra number to the stored contacts. You may imagine doing this manually is a painful process. I wish it is possible to have APIs to edit the contacts info in code instead of just reading only the contacts' info.

Make use of the Reason field along with State on the Kanban and Task boards
It's great that you can customize the columns on the Kanban board in 2012, but it would be even better if you could make use of the Reason field as well. In the scenario where a new column is added for a state that already has a column, adding the reason for the column change would be extremely beneficial. Then a team could have other queries created and also know that when looking at the board, but the column change occurred. It would save on having to make use of the kanban WI extension.
Also, being able to set the…

Organise the extensions section
At the moment, every single Lightswitch extension I have installed shows up in alphabetical order in the Extensions section of the Properties window.
Even though Lightswitch is only a few weeks old (since release), and the extensions are only starting to be released, this section is already getting hard to handle. It needs some way of organising the extensions, probably by category (themes, shells, controls, etc) so they can see found more easily.
It would be an idea if there were some way that the extension authors could choose the category from a fixed list, and their extension would then…

Show Exception messages in English for smaller languages
When I get exception messages using the debugger, I would like to get the option for Visual Studio to give me the English counterpart instead of the one in my language (Dutch). Especially because I'm already using an English Visual C# program. Exception messages in less spoken languages are useless if you want to do research on the Internet about it.

Preserve breakpoint when switching branches
When I switch branches on my code, functions move slightly and breakpoints end in the wrong lines. It seems VS remembers only the line number of each breakpoint. If VS remembered some context around breakpoints, it could reconstruct the new location better.

Default namespace in New Solution/Project dialog
I need to change the default project namespace in project properties and do Search&Replace in all files already generated on startup every time I am starting a new project.
If namespace refactoring is not going to be available, at least allow us to set the namespace during creation of a new project.

Obfuscate file names in build log in Diagnostic mode
At times when I report a bug and it is not reproducable, MS asks me to submit either a sample application or build log. There are times when I cannot submit this build log as it contains file, project, resource, reference, etc names. If there was a build mode which obfuscates the these above names then I don't have to worry when submitting my build log to MS
