When projects and solution is regenerated outside of Visual Studio, and Visual Studio picks detects the change and offers user to Reload or Ignore, it offers one or two dialogs per project. There's no way to "Ignore All" or "Reload All". This is low-cost high-impact feature for many developers who generate their solutions and projects using external tools.

make it easy to split team projects into multiple team projects, moving work items between them.

.NET Framework already has Nullable<T> but it could also have ToNullable<T> as a struct.

If you wanted to keep reference-types null and turn value-types to null you could make this:

class someGenericClass<T>
{
T? value; /* = Nullable<T> value; but this gives error
because T may already be null */

T$ value; /* = ToNullable<T> value; this doesn't give error,
what you wnat is keep what's null null,
and turn non-null into null */
}

The only problem is that this does not exist!

The ability to developed LS applications in modules. Most LOB applications start off simple and evolve over time into large systems. The ability to develop smaller modules and link them together would be a great advantage in LS.

Microsoft is apparently about to eliminate the classic view of MSDN in favor of the poor low-contrast, pale, washed out 'lightweight' view. When you visit MSDN now you will see the following if you are viewing the CLASSIC view:

"This view of the MSDN and TechNet Libraries will be replaced soon with the Lightweight view. Try it now by clicking the Lightweight link above."

This is more of the same from Microsoft in reducing the developer experience to a shred of what it once was, and makes using MSDN as unpleasant as the grey theme of VS2012.

Provide the option of having infix notation on functions rather than just symbolic operators

I would really like xaml debugger! I think that this caution is necessary! very difficult to find errors in the xaml.

For example, I want to prevent the creation of Sprint Tasks before a Product Backlog Item is ready for development, assigned to a Sprint, contains a description, and is prioritized.

C# and VB.NET compilers are blazingly fast! However, on RebuildAll scenarios, the user experience could be (easily) enhanced if:

1) The progress bar would show accurately the RebuildAll progression.

2) If before compilation, VS could warn/break if one or several target DLLs WndHandle are currently hold by some processes, and which process hold which handle (the process explorer way)

3) RebuildAll doesn't try to recompile DLLs relying on DLLs that didn't compile successfully.

Display of hierarchical data is a requirement in many business applications. The forums and blogs are full of questions on how to add a treeview to a Lightswitch application. While it can be done with a custom control, adding it to the standard set of controls would certainly make Lightswitch a more powerful business application development environment. BTW, be sure and have a two-way SelectedItem property.

If LightSwitch will easily support update, insert and delete stored procedures it will allow my company to adopt LightSwitch. We cannot build a separate WPF project each time we want to modify the data this way--and from inside LightSwitch it is just too slow and too complex to do. Thank you!

I'm so glad to see VS11 beta release. I find many new features integrated to VS11 beta from "old" Productivity Power Tools extension, such as new Solution Explorer, Quick Access and so on. But I do see many more features of "Productivity Power Tools" in VS11 beta, such as Auto Brace Completion, Fix Mixed Tabs, Align Assignments, Tools Options Support and more. So I hope the full functions of "old" Productivity Power Tools integrated to the VS11, and also we can config these features in the Option of VS11. Please take a think about my suggestion. Thanks a lot!

I really like the new feature (may be) in TFS where you can add capacity in the sprint which estimates work by activity.

currently a developer can spend 2/3 of this time in development and 1/3 in bug fixing(testing). so, i would like to see two/more entries per team member to divide their capacity across different activities and properly track the project activities (dev, test, requirements etc etc)

hope you got what I am trying to say.

Often I'm finding screens may have similar custom layouts, but I need to build each one from scratch. I have to flip back and forth between screens (see my other sugg. "Allow developer to have multiple screen designers open simultaneously."), and manually tweak the hierarchy to get screens to be consistent with each other. I'd like to be able to select a node in one design screen, copy it, and paste it into another.

Build definitions should be able to query (customizable) NuGet feeds (HTTP/HTTPS) & download packages referenced by the solution(s) - as we don't want them in source control (setting?).
In addition, build definitions should be able to create, push & publish packages to any NuGet feed.
This should be possible and configurable out-of-the-box, without any customization.
